How Do You Remove Pilling From Knitwear?
Lay the knit flat and remove surface bobbles gently with a tool suitable for the fabric, if the garment’s instructions allow. Test a small hidden area and stop if the tool catches the yarn. Avoid pulling pills off by hand.
Where do bobbles usually appear?
Friction often shows under the arms and along areas that rub against bags or outer layers. On a textured knit such as the Aurelle Cable Knit Sweater - Brown, work slowly and keep the tool away from raised cables, loose loops and ribbing.
How do you reduce new pilling?
Reduce rubbing where practical, wash according to the label and give knits room in storage. Fold the jumper once it’s fully dry. Check a finer knit such as the Knit Polo Shirt - Navy separately, since a tool that suits one surface may catch another.
