Hang your sweaters on the flocked hangers. Arrange your sweaters on the hangers, making sure that the shoulders and neck aren't stretched out. Because the flocking will keep clothing from shifting on the hanger, make sure that the shoulder seams are laying evenly on the hanger to prevent your sweaters from losing their shape.

Tips & Warnings
Although flocked hangers are generally strong enough to hold heavier clothing, heavy knit sweaters may be better off folded. The weight of a thick sweater may cause it to stretch out if hung on a hanger for a long period of time.
To avoid misshaping the shoulders of very heavy or very delicate sweaters, attach shoulder shapers to your hangers. These are clipped onto the hanger and provide a wider surface for the shoulders of the sweater to rest on.
Never hang wet or damp sweaters on hangers, as this will cause them to stretch out and lose their shape.
Don't try to pull sweaters off flocked hangers because the fabric will cling to the flocking and you'll end up with a stretched out sweater.
