Wrinkle Knots – 7 Travel Fabrics that Won’t Need Ironing

Well of course we all know how to roll and not fold… right? But what if rolling still gets you into trouble? Here are 7 sure-fire wrinkle-free travel fabrics to take along with you.

#1 Neoprene

Fit and flare without the underskirt.

You just need to shake it off, shake it off, uh uh. Great for bouncy skirts and dresses.

#2 Cashmere

Soft like a basket of sleeping kitties..

It’s a throw-n-go kind of fabric. In fact, it poses greater peril if you do iron it; cashmere is notorious for being fragile.

#3 Denim

Some people even pay for the creases. Don't ruin their hard work!!

Do you know someone who irons denim? Get them to stop and bring them out to see the light. Denim is meant to be rumpled.

#4 Angora

"I won't wrinkle, but I do need a brush."

Like the bunny, angora is one of those knits that really don’t need the hot press; in fact, do you recall any type of fur that gets wrinkled?

#5 Spandex

Use spandex for good, not evil.

Okay, this one does crease a little, but once it conforms to your body and stretches out, it’s gone.

#6 Wool

Are we sheepish? A little, yeah....

Another animal byproduct, wool gets a bit of smack by PeTA activists, and while not altogether cruelty-free, it IS wrinkle-free.

#7 Lyocell

Most bedsheets are turning to Lyocell now, which is saying something; no one likes a wrinkled bedsheet.

A rayon derivative, Lyocell is known to be fairly soft and strong, is machine washable and resistant to wrinkling. An answer to any traveller’s prayers!
