Today, the choice of clothing in stores is impressive even for sophisticated fashionistas, but at the same time, a sweater remains one of the most important elements of a wardrobe, especially a warm one for the winter.
A warm sweater is one of the most essential wardrobe items for both men and women, because, unfortunately, winter is really harsh in most of Russia. This is why choosing the right sweater is extremely important.
Of course, you can choose a sweater by style, color or brand, but these are not the most important parameters. Even in the coolest and most fashionable sweater, you can easily get pneumonia if it is made from not warm enough yarn.
Most often, the composition of sweaters today contains wool of different quality, synthetics, cotton. If you choose a sweater that you plan to wear in subzero temperatures, immediately discard sweaters knitted from cotton or a cotton / synthetic blend. Such sweaters practically do not warm (do not retain the heat of the human body), so it is better not to wear them, even if your down jacket is designed for the most severe weather. Slightly better are clothes made entirely of man-made fibers. Practice has shown that a high-quality synthetic sweater warms well, retains the appearance of a new thing for a long time, but in severe frost it will fail.
The best choice is a sweater made from natural wool, but it can deform with active use or with improper washing. That is why it is worth choosing a thing knitted or sewn from a blended yarn (wool + synthetic fibers), and there should be no less than 50 percent of natural threads, and better 60-70.
Helpful Hint: Many girls complain that their wool sweater is prickly. This is due to the fact that inexpensive things of this kind are knitted from coarse sheep's wool. This problem is not present with more delicate fibers. Look for cashmere, angora and your sweater will delight you not only with its practicality, but with the feeling of a delicate, almost silk fiber.
