How to Make Your Knits Look Brand-New

Give your favorite sweaters a second life with a few stylist-approved tricks. Whether you’re reviving a longtime love or updating a vintage find, these simple hacks will have your knits looking runway-ready again.

✨ Make It Look New

De-pill:
Gently shave away fuzz with a fabric shaver, clean razor, or pumice stone to instantly smooth the surface.

Revive color:
Soak sweaters for 30 minutes in a mix of 1 part vinegar to 4 parts cold water to lift old detergent residue and brighten hues.

Fix stretching:
Wet block to reshape the silhouette, or lightly steam stretched cuffs and necklines to tighten the fibers.

Smooth wrinkles:
Hang your sweater in a steamy bathroom or use a handheld steamer for a quick refresh.

Prevent fading:
Wash inside out on a gentle cycle, in cold water, with color-safe detergent. Always air-dry flat to maintain shape.

Boost softness:
Add a touch of hair conditioner during a hand wash (after soap!) for a surprisingly silky finish.
