If you could use your shawls immediately without needing to iron them, you would likely wear them much more often. Here are four storage methods that minimize wrinkling, save space, and make items easy to locate. Feel free to try the one that best suits your needs.
Use a trouser hanger to hang the scarf-folded and ready to wear-securing it with the clips for easy access.
Use small storage drawers made of heavy cardboard (ideally around 30cm wide); fold the scarf into quarters, then fold it in half again before storing.
Hang multiple folded shawls on a hanger and secure them with clips. If you are worried about the clips leaving marks, place a piece of thick paper between the clip and the fabric.
Fold the shawl into quarters and place it inside a multi-layered document folder. Storing it flat in the folder prevents wrinkles and allows you to see the contents at a glance.
Shawl storage tip-wrapping the fringe in aluminum foil: Do you often find that the fringe becomes bent or kinked when you take a stored shawl out of the closet in winter-creases that are impossible to iron out?
To prevent this during long-term storage, neatly arrange the fringe and wrap it in aluminum foil. Scarf storage tip-wrapping in tissue paper to prevent misshaping: After grooming the fringe, fold it inward and carefully wrap the scarf in breathable tissue paper. This prevents the fringe from tangling and protects against mold; otherwise, you might regret finding your shawl in poor condition when you go to use it the following year.
