I never would have thought of rolling them, but it makes perfect sense.  No permanent creases along fold lines!

I've been doing the rolling thing in suitcases for some time, and more recently in drawers for t-shirts, jeans, workout pants, sweaters. Makes great use of drawer space and look-ma-no wrinkles!!

The obvious response to that, then, is how do I roll up my face at night?

I like the rolling idea. Never heard of it so never tried except for packing a carryon.

Couple of questions:

1. How do you store sweaters that have fake fur collars? I have one that I love and I don't want to crease the collar.

2. Is there a way to eliminate the dreaded hanger bulge from sweaters than have been hanging? I have a couple like this. I hung them up to air out and forgot them over the summer. :(

I have tried this method, which work works well on fine to medium weight knits. BTW, on a heavy knit, hanging causes the sweater/sweatercoat to stretch out of shape (gravity at work). If your fur collared sweater is too heavy to hang, can you remove the collar to store the sweater and reattach it for wearing?

These "bump be gone" hangers are great! You can find knockoffs at K-Mart:
