Wow, this is the US, I wonder if it differs much from the UK!
I'd be tempted to wash it all first 😄

Such a great declutter list.
I started my journey using The Secret Mum Club, but I have so much more to remove from my loft, a great tick off list to start, before I call in the big guns 😁

How many times do you wear a wool jumper? Have you shrunk many?

Top tip Tuesday

🧺 How to extend its lifespan of a wool jumper

Air it out instead of washing after every wear (wool is naturally odor-resistant).

Hand wash or use a wool cycle with a gentle detergent.

Dry flat to avoid stretching.

Store folded, not hung, to prevent shoulder marks and distortion.

Depill occasionally with a fabric comb or shaver.

🧶 Typical lifespan of a wool jumper:

High-quality wool (e.g., merino, lambswool, cashmere):
Around 400–500 wears with good care.

Mid-range wool blends:
Roughly 200–300 wears before losing shape, pilling excessively, or thinning.

Low-quality or loosely knit wool:
Often 100–150 wears.

If well cared for, a good wool jumper can easily last 10+ years — that’s hundreds of wears.

I wonder in which generation all fabrics will be recycled!!
The UK generates a substantial volume of textile waste: each British person throws away on average ~3.1 kg of textiles per year, with ~1.7 kg ending up in landfill.

The average adult UK wardrobe is estimated at ~118 items, and one-quarter of those (≈31 items) are unworn for at least a year.

The WRAP report: if half of clothes suitable for reuse (i.e., could be reused with minimal repair) were diverted from the waste stream, this could divert 24% of those items from residual waste.

About that time now the weather is changing.

In the UK, most people tend to swap their summer to winter wardrobe around late September to mid-October — roughly when:

Temperatures consistently drop below 15°C,

Daylight hours shorten noticeably, and

Autumn weather (rain, wind, chill) becomes more regular.

Here’s a general timeline:

🧥 Late September: Early planners start switching lighter clothes out, especially in northern regions or rural areas where it cools faster.

🍂 Early to mid-October: The majority make the change — jumpers, coats, and boots replace shorts and sandals.

❄️ Late October / early November: Southern England and Londoners often wait until now, as it can stay mild longer.
