How can I stop a laundry basket damaging wool knitwear?
Our answer
Line the basket with a smooth cotton pillowcase and do not place heavy or zippered items on top of wool pieces.
Why this approach makes sense
The correct treatment depends on fibre, dye and care label. Heat or abrasive treatment can make some damage permanent.
Before you try it
Test a small area first and avoid repeating treatment if the fabric changes colour or texture.
