Sweater Stone and Cashmere Comb
It can be a huge bummer when your favorite sweater starts pilling. I've had some sweaters that get so many pills it's downright embarrassing. And it usually is your favorite sweater that has the most damage, because, fun fact, pilling is actually cause by wearing, because that's when fibers loosen.
So how do you get rid of those pesky pills? Glad you asked! There are two handy tools that can safely remove pilling and fuzz at home: The Sweater Stone and Cashmere Comb.

Cool! Which one should I use?
That depends on the fabric! Scroll down for an overview of what types of fabric each tool is typically used on.
The Sweater Stone is 100% natural pumice, and works great on thicker gauge fabrics, such as:
- Thick knit sweaters
- Wool
- Cotton
- Fleece
- Upholstery
The Cashmere Comb is excellent for more delicate, fine fabrics, such as:
- Fine knit sweaters
- Cashmere
- Merino wool
- Alpaca
- Upholstery
THE STONE:
- Before using the stone for the first time, unwrap it over the sink and rinse the stone. This will take care of any loose sediment so it doesn't get on your sweater!
- Lay your garment on a flat surface.
- Test the stone on a small, inconspicuous area to ensure the stone is safe for that fabric.
- Use a gentle, short, repetitive sweeping motion to remove pilling.
- Be patient! It takes time, but reviving your favorite sweater is totally worth it.
