Result

And There you go ! Thanks to this grandmother's remedy, no more itchy sweaters :-)

Easy, fast and efficient, right?

You will finally be able to put on your favorite sweater without a long-sleeved t-shirt underneath.

And this solution works for sweaters made of wool, mohair, acrylic, merino wool, knitted alpaca or a chunky knit cardigan.

Additional advice

I advise you to check if you are not allergic or intolerant to certain fibers.

For example, I can't stand any of these natural fibres:wool, alpaca, cashmere or angora which make my life hell.

They irritate my skin and I keep scratching.

However, with this trick, I can finally support some of my sweaters.

For the others, I stopped worrying, I gave them to my friends who are delighted to have brand new cashmere clothes!

Why does it work?

Vinegar and conditioner soften the fibers and soften them.

Thus, the harsher ones become more elastic and do not cause itching.

Freezing the wool prevents the shorter fibers from sticking out and stinging you.
