PurpleCow Posted January 12, 2007 #1 Share Posted January 12, 2007 I've managed to accumulate enough travel knits from Chicos, Coldwater Creek, QVC, etc., that I'll be packing a lot of very slippery things. Anyone have any suggestions to tame them when packing? Usually they slide all over the place as soon as I start to unpack and they're impossible to stack on drawers on on shelves. I've ordered some packing cubes from Magellans. Will they do the trick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy ks Posted January 13, 2007 #2 Share Posted January 13, 2007 The dry cleaners are your friend. They have slacks hangers that have tacky cardboard so you can hang pants without them slipping around. They have hangers with (it's pink from our cleaners) foam covering the upper part of the hanger that doesn't allow the knits to slip off. I like to pack everything on these types of hangers, then cover with a dry cleaner bag. That way, I can unpack in a jiff, no need to hang anything and I re-hang after wearing, it goes back into the suitcase the same way it left home. The cubes are wonderful for underthings, socks, ties etc... My husband thought I was crazy the first time I used them, but I've made a believer out of him. They not only keep everything organized and neat, it makes unpacking and re-packing a breeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ger_77 Posted January 13, 2007 #3 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I have a number of travel knit pieces, so I put similar items together in large zip-lock bags. I just fold them together gently, slide them into the bag, seal it, and voila! Instant packing. When we get to our cabin I can either leave them in the bags or take them out and hang them up or put them in the drawers. Just my 2 cents worth! Smooth Sailing! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover Posted January 13, 2007 #4 Share Posted January 13, 2007 :D Dito to what ger-77 said,We do the same. I usually leave mine in the bag till I get ready to wear it. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susiefay Posted January 16, 2007 #5 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Roll, roll, roll......i fold them first and then just roll them up and put them into the suitcase. They unroll perfectly and I am good to go!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shops54 Posted January 26, 2007 #6 Share Posted January 26, 2007 I roll my slinky knits and I have all these little tubes along one side of my suitcase. It keeps them wrinkle free - not a big worry since they are the easiest to hang out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
