Pilling commonly occurs on a fabric when fibers that are worked loose by rubbing, form little balls. The pills don't fall off because they are held to the fabric by the fibers that still hold firm. Loosely woven and knitted synthetics and blends are the typical candidates for pilling. Usually, it's the stronger synthetic fibers that hold the pill to the surface. Pilling can happen to clothes, blankets, and upholstery fabrics. However, sweaters seem especially vulnerable.

Sweater Stone Testimonials

Well the end of winter is nearing and while sweater season is not quite over yet (at least here in SF) my favorite sweaters are looking a little worse for the wear.  Ugh.  Pills, pills everywhere!Electric sweater shavers don't do diddly and the one thing that seemed to work I cannot find anywhere.  I found this place on the internet and it seems pretty cool.  The Sweater Stone folks even got a couple good "green" reviews!

The Sweater Stone -- Natural Fuzz Shaver
I have a good friend that has a serious aversion to pilling on sweaters, or blankets (especially) or anything. And I mean serious, to the point that I did not dare wear my favorite sweaters around her, for fear of causing her to convulse in disgust. So, I was really ecstatic when I heard about this Sweater Stone. It's a completely natural product that, when rubbed against knits will brush away the surface pills. Their website's technical explanation goes like this: "It actually cuts the filament that holds the pill to the garment while the cell breaks off, removing pilling and restoring the nap on fabrics. Pilling commonly occurs on a fabric when fibers that are worked loose by rubbing, form little balls.  The pills don't fall off because they are held to the fabric by the fibers that still hold firm". It's rated as a Best Buy from Consumer Reports.  No small deal, huh?
