Use the flattest surface you can to ensure cleaner folds. Make sure no parts of the sweater are bunched up.
Make sure to smooth any wrinkles as you work. Don’t extend the cuffs beyond the edge of the sweater.
Folding the hem up too high may cause wrinkles. Some sweaters might require two folds.
Store the sweater carefully so as not to undo the folds or cause wrinkles. If the fold looks wrinkly or bunched up, simply start again from the beginning.
Place your sweater with the front facing upwards.
Starting with either arm makes no difference. Keep the shoulders level with the sides of the sweater.
Don’t roll the sweater too tightly as this may stretch the material. Make sure the roll is as even as you can get it.
If the sweater looks bunched up or uneven, unroll it and start fresh.
Make sure your rubber band is the right size to prevent its breaking. Using a string will also work well.
Smoothing out some sweater materials may be more challenging than others.
Try to keep the edge of the sleeve flush with the edge of the sweater.
Don’t make your roll too loosely as it may come undone.
Use this method to fold the sweater into small storage spaces. Some larger sweaters might need to be folded more than once.
Fold directly down the center of the sweater.

Make sure the sweater is tightly folded over the hanger. Starting with the arms or the body of the sweater will make no difference.
Hang your sweater to save space and avoid wrinkles.
