Shelf or hanger for bamboo fabric

Short answer: Knitted garments belong on a shelf, woven ones on a hanger. Bamboo viscose is heavy, and a knitted garment stretches a long way on a hanger.

Why the weight matters

Bamboo viscose is heavier than cotton at the same thickness. If a knitted garment hangs on a hanger for months, the weight pulls the fabric lengthwise and leaves bumps at the shoulders. That does not come back on its own.

What belongs on a shelf

T-shirts, knitted jumpers, sweatshirts and everything knitted. Fold them upright so you can see them all. See sweat clothing and bamboo t-shirts for men.

What belongs on a hanger

Shirts, trousers and anything woven that has to look smooth. Woven fabric does not stretch the same way. See bamboo shirts for men and bamboo trousers for women.

Frequently asked questions

What if there is no shelf space

Fold and put in a basket rather than hanging knitwear. A basket beats a hanger.

Can knitwear be hung safely

Drape the garment over the crossbar of the hanger rather than hanging it by the shoulders.

Why do jumpers get bumps at the shoulders

Because the ends of the hanger push the fabric out exactly there under the weight.
