Pilling Cashmere Sweater
Permalink Closed

I have a few cashmere sweaters that are pilling.  How do you remove the pills safely?  Should I get a fabric shaver?  I've heard that they can easily rip fabric.  Any suggestions?

I have a sweater stone from the laundress. I think it was $20 at beauty.com, which is too expensive IMO for what it does, but it works well. They don't appear to sell it any more.

It basically looks like a pumice. Maybe you could find something similar (and cheaper)?

Thanks! I'll look around. I haven't been able to find anything other than the shavers so far in B&Ms. Somebody told me about a fabric comb but didn't know where she got it.

I have a shaver and it's worked well for probably 15 years. (I don't wear cashmere, though.)

I'd recommend a sweater stone as well.  I bought one from Banana last year for $5.  It seems more gentle than a shaver.

LOL.  My parents always make me order from them for stuff the want.  I get emails almost everyday.  I'll have to add it to the next order.  Thanks!
