Caring For Your Cable Knit Handbag

Cable knit is a fabric that is knitted to form a top or any other thing that you like. Cable knits come in different designs. Many have larger knits running from top to bottom. There is also a cable knit handbag which can be very beautiful but difficult to care for.

The difficulty is in keeping the cable knits free from runs and tangles. Your cable knit handbag may have been knitted using a machine instead of the traditional knitting needles but this does not take anything away from the beauty of a cable knit handbag.

How to Prevent Runs

Cable knits are prone to runs due to the knitting getting caught on everyday objects it come sin contact with. Cable knit handbags are no different from other cable knit products and apparel. These also have a tendency to unwind or get caught on sharp objects. Once your cable knit is caught, most likely, the knitting either becomes undone (when it has been cut) or the knitting bunches up due to pulling.

There are many ways of preventing your cable knit handbag from getting ruined. One thing is to be extra careful when using it especially when you pass trough tight spaces or put it where it may encounter sharp objects. Since we can not be extra careful all the time, and the propensity of a cable knit handbag of getting a run is high, you must also learn what to do when this happens.

In cases where the knitting bunches up because it has been pulled, you can try to carefully pull it back to its original form. This is sort of tricky because a knot may have already formed when it was pulled and this knot may be difficult to untangle. You can use knitting needles or any sharp object to try and pull the knot out but be careful.

If the knot in your cable knit handbag does not come out, you can tie another knot at the end of the pulled knitting and then cut it to eliminate to protrusion. Your cable knit handbag will never look the same again after this and you need to take better care that the knot will not get untied.

You can also have the option of bringing your cable knit handbag to a store that specializes in fixing clothing or fabrics. They might have a solution as to how to fix your cable knit handbag without having to damage it too much.
