The Cocoknits Pop-up Sweater Dryer is a mesh drying rack that springs open when you need it and folds away when you don't. You lay a freshly washed sweater flat on the mesh, and air reaches it from above and below, so it dries faster and evenly.
Drying flat matters for hand knits. Hung on a line or chair, a wet sweater stretches under its own weight, and the shape you worked hard for can grow. On a mesh surface it holds its shape while it dries.
It's part of Cocoknits' sweater care collection, and it suits anyone who hand-washes their knits, especially in a small home without space for a permanent rack.
Good for
- Drying hand-washed sweaters flat
- Small apartments with no room for a rack
- Heavy wool and cotton knits that stretch when hung
- Hats, mitts and accessories after washing
Using it
Press as much water out of the knit as you can in a towel first; less water means a faster dry and less weight pulling on the fibers. Then lay it on the mesh and pat it into shape, smoothing sleeves and hem. Turn it over halfway if it's a thick piece. For a full reshape to measurements, use a blocking mat instead; see our blocking guide.
Looking after it
Let the mesh dry before folding it away. If it gets dusty, a quick rinse and air-dry keep it clean.
