If these woolens could talk...

Was given a scarf for my birthday. The care instructions tag sewn on to the scarf included this:

"Knitted garments prefer folded storage"

They 'prefer'? Did someone ask them about this??

I am aware that to maintain shape it is preferable to fold knitted garments rather than hang them on coat hangers but I feel we are being paternalistic here in telling these woolen garments how to live their lives.

If they just want to hang in the back of the wardrobe and lose their shape who am I to say no?
