Usually you have to choose – if a sweater really warms, then it is often not very pleasant to the body.
In cold weather, the best salvation is a woolen sweater, the same scarf, hat and mittens. They are the warmest of all. True, things made of real wool often become a real test for owners. You put it on – and the skin immediately begins to itch, the sides and forehead itch terribly, and no longer any heat is needed, so you want to quickly pull off this thorn. But don’t sacrifice warmth. After all, even the most “evil” sweater can be made soft and fluffy.

“When buying a thing, it’s worth touching it properly. As a rule, sheepskin or tightly knit clothing is prickly prickly. It is better to choose a thing, after all, not from one hundred percent wool, but with impurities. By doing this, you will definitely protect yourself from unpleasant sensations. “
Wool is generally very similar in structure to human hair. The thread forms small villi along its length, which split and irritate the skin. To avoid this, you need to use products to smooth these hairs. Everything – from powders to liquid gels – can be safely added for delicate wash. Many people also choose shampoos and conditioners for split ends and brittle hair. The villi become soft and smooth. You just need to soak the thing in cool water, then squeeze out a little and apply a special product for 10 minutes. Rinse well and lay to dry on a towel or sheet.
It is important to dry the item flat on a horizontal surface so as not to spoil it.
“The second method is steaming with citric acid using a steam generator or an iron,” the expert continues. – You must first soak the gauze in a solution where half a teaspoon of citric acid is needed per liter of water. Then squeeze out, put on the product and steam gently. “
Some fearless wool lovers go for freezing their favorite cardigan. They put a damp thing in a plastic bag and send it to the freezer for a day or two. After exposure to cold temperatures, all the villi fall off. Next, the thing is defrosted, rinsed in cool water and dried.
Well, the easiest way to get rid of “thorns” is to wear a T-shirt or shirt under a sweater. True, this trick will not work with a hat.
