Best way to get wrinkles out of sweaters

What is the best way to get sweaters wrinkle-free?

Do you use a clothes steamer or throw them in the dryer on cool cycle?

Re: Best way to get wrinkles out of sweaters

Depends on the sweater and the wrinkles. If it's not a heavy sweater and lightly wrinkled, I'll put it on a hanger, mist it with some water, and let it hang dry. If it's a heavier sweater that could stretch if left hanging too long or the wrinkles are bad, I'll steam, then let dry flat.

Old School....

 

Hang them in the bathroom, run a hot shower.  The steam will remove the wrinkles.

I lay mine on my bed and steam away.

Buy a steamer. They work on all sweaters.

I agree with others, a steamer is your best bet. 

 

My Little Steamer (from HSN, also carried other places) is inexpensive and works well.

I turn my sweaters inside out and steam them with my rowenta, works every time.  I have been known to toss them in the dryer with a few towels for about 10 minutes or so.

All of the wrinkles is the reason that I hang most of my sweaters on padded hangers.  I just don't have the time to spend steaming out the folds and wrinkles.

I iron them, simple.

Steam.  I am so glad I bought a steamer earlier this year.

The dryer process takes TOO LONG and really does not work that well, compared to a steamer.
