Wear More, Wash Less
We highly recommend taking your knits to an environmentally-friendly dry cleaner once a season - unless you love shrunken sweaters. Also opt for an eco-friendly fabric spray to freshen your knit between wears.
All sweaters pill no matter what, so have a sweater stone or fabric shaver ready. Always fold sweaters instead of hanging them, since hanging will warp the fabric over time.

Cotton farming, even when locally efficient, still requires significant water.
