Audrey Coyne Button-less cardigans for sure!! I bought an italian, black merino yarn cardigan from Benetton, pricey but really comfortable. Big mistake washing it without a mesh bag even in delicate cycle. Fortunately, a friend got the mini holes fixed and it's still brand new, I'm extra careful from now on.

Audrey Coyne Actually, I have quite a few favorites; however, the one that I seem to be gravitating more towards right now is a vintage cream cable knit that's a cotton and silk blend. I bought it about 4 years ago for $1 at my favorite local thrift store. It's just so cozy and feels like a gentle warm hug on my skin, and it's perfect for the chilly evenings and nights we've been having lately. 😊

Audrey, I absolutely love watching your videos. I'm 53-years-young, and I've been building a quality, timeless wardrobe for several years now. I love good quality pieces that are made from natural fibers, and I don't buy anything that's not natural fibers. I have a lovely collection of blazers, sweaters & silk scarves that I've either gotten from E-Bay or from a thrift store. There's a thrift store in my area where all the clothes are $1 each regardless of what it is...and I've gotten most of my cashmere sweaters from this place. I'm not a wealthy woman, but I dress like one, and the best part is that I've done it with very little money. Take care, and keep those lovely videos coming. 😊🌸

Hi Audrey, you have made another useful video and probably a lot of viewers will be so happy to watch and learn about how to shop and maintain beautiful sweaters. The Laundress NY has a full range of products for cashmere. I am a BIG fan of cashmere and I would add a couple of things : try to buy expensive brands - St.John, Neiman Marcus, Ralph Lauren- when they go on sale in May or June. There are thousands of kinds of cashmere, the most expensive have the best quality and they tend to pill less. I wash my cashmere in the washing machine, cold gentle cycle, inside a medium size washing bag. Do not mix different colors.

As a knitter, it's nice to see such a great episode on sweaters. On washing, it's good to point out that natural wool fibers don't need to be washed between wearing as they don't really absorb odours the way synthetic fibers do. Unless they actually get dirty, I only wash my sweaters once or twice a year. The freezer is a great way to freshen them up if more than an airing out is needed. I've just hit on your channels so I'm still catching up on episodes.

Try this. After washing your sweater the way that Audrey described, put the wet sweater in a pillowcase. Close the end of the pillowcase very very securely with a hair tie looped around many times and then put it into the spin cycle of your washing machine. Nothing gets snagged or stretched and the water gets spun out. Then lay your sweater on the clothing rack. This works for wool, cashmere, blends... anything at all. It's fantastic and your sweater will dry incredibly fast without any drippy mess.

Hi Audrey, I agree, sweaters are great! I have several Brora cashmere cardigans and sweaters, mostly bought in their winter sale, and one cardigan that I bought from Johnsons of Scotland in St. Andrews, Scotland - at full price (gulp!). Personally, I have no problem with washing my cashmere in the washing machine on the wool setting - I have a front-loader - in cold water, then drying flat on towels as you describe. I also use The Laundress. However, I do hang all my sweaters, but in a special way that I learned about from the blog Une Femme - I recently described it in a comment to one of my favourite bloggers, Nikki of Midlife Chic. You lay the sweater on a flat surface, fold in half vertically, sleeve to sleeve. Then take a hanger (I use the thin flock-covered ones) lay it on top with the hook between the sleeves and the body (the neckline pointing towards you) then drape the sleeves over one side of the hanger and the body over the other side. Nikki told me that it took her a while to figure it out, but it works very well - no stretching. At the end of the season I wash them and store in sweater bags.

I look best in v neck sweaters because I'm a pear shape and have small shoulders. I also read that putting sweaters in a ziploc and into the freezer kills any moths that could be on it.

That technique - ziploc baggie in the freezer - also can rid a cashmere of any scratchy fibers. Just leave it in overnight and the next day just shake it out and the shorter scratchies will fall off and the sweater will be less itchy.

An additional note on sweater care (9:20), a more affordable option to the detergent is to use baby shampoo (it also comes in a lavender scent). Wool and cashmere are hair so shampoos and conditioners (to slightly soften the itchiness of some wools) can be used. Also, use a very small amount (dime - quarter coin size). lukewarm water > detergent > garment (never run water over garment). Also, do not wring the rinse water out but gently squeeze > put on towel > roll towel into sausage > walk on towel (or put into mesh bag (or pillow case) > 1-2 min on spin cycle). As an avid knitter and collector of cashmere sweaters, your guide is spot on.

I support your last comment about quality sweaters lasting forever. I have a Scottish made sweater that I bought about 25 years ago (or more) from Goodwill. At the time, I could tell it was quite old because the buttons were ruined. After replacing the buttons, that sweater has been in constant rotation. At this point, I will say it is starting to look it's age. Somehow it always manages to fit, despite my changing sizes. It is always the perfect colour (a soft red). It has been the most magical piece of clothing that I have ever owned. No matter what I wear with it, it always elevates what I have on. Looked after, I would say it has lasted at least 35 years and I will never get rid of it, even if I do stop wearing it.

Thanks to your advice I will be buying a couple of crew neck sweaters because at 61 my neck isn't what it used to be and I am inspired by how you wear your scarves. Up here in Toronto, I never actually put any sweaters away "for the season" so, I don't mind spending a bit more because they get a lot of use.

A warning to folks looking for second-hand wool sweaters (especially cashmere) online: pay attention to length measurements. I’ve been burned several times where people have wash, dried, and shrunk their cashmere...and then sold them on. Because of the seaming, wool sweaters tend to shrink lengthwise more drastically than widthwise, so a disproportionately short length measurement is a clue that the sweater may have been shrunk and/or felted.

Not a big fan of cashmere - it just pills so much, even expensive pieces,, and I can‘t wear wool any more (scratches like hell), so I stick to cotton and also viscose, which has a lovely smooth feeling and is great for the warmer season. And yes, with a little TLC you can have and wear them for many years, no need to constantly exchange them just because fashion demands sizing that looks too small one year and oversized the next one. Unfortunately over the last years many brands have gone back to using lots of synthetics, polyester, polyamide and polyacrylics are everywhere, big thumbs down to the fashion industry.

I have been living in wool trousers (homemade) and woollen jumpers (both machine and hand made) for 40 years, and none of them have been anywhere near a dry cleaner. I hand wash the garments and use the spin dry to get the water out. The centrifugal force just presses the fabric against the drum - no pulling or any kind of agitation. Then wrap the garment it in a clean towel and sit on the parcel for a second or two. Then it is ready to iron or leave somewhere flat in the shade. It is not good for wool to be wet for any longer than is necessary.

Winter is my favorite season, partly b/c I'm partial to winter clothing and feeling cool. I'm certainly a sweater fiend. I don't wear sweaters in spring or summer. Michigan gets to humid.
