Okay – hold the phone! Could I really be the last person on earth to find out about this magical thing called a sweater comb???
I have tried using a razor to get pills off of sweaters. The razor took a LOT of effort to do a lousy job. I have tried the battery-operated sweater shaver. It shaved a hole in my sweater. I have tried to ignore the pills on my sweaters, but I can’t. So, in my closet, when a good sweater goes bad because of pills, it is hopeless. Many a good sweater has gone down this way. They don’t know how to “just say no” to pills.
Before showing them the tough-love and moving them out the door, I sometimes hold on to my favorite sweaters. I guess my hope it that the next time I take it out, the pills will have magically disappeared. Or at least become less of an issue. Alas, no such thing has happened and I have had to cut ties with many otherwise good, upstanding sweaters…
…until I discovered the sweater comb!!!
This little wonder-tool has magical teeth which are able to chew off those pills like nobody’s business.
It took my favorite sweater from this:
To this:
Maybe it is hard for you to understand the depth of my attachment to this sweater. What can I say – it just works. It does everything – color, length, style - to work for me. Unfortunately, I am finding that more and more of my clothes are fitting differently these days. I have heard this starts to happen in your late 40′s. I am fighting back, but in the meantime, I am really grateful for what this sweater does for me and I am so happy to be able to revive it.
To make my point abundantly clear, I shall now bust-a-move and show you exactly why this is the Plenty Perfect Peri-Menopausal Sweater. I hope you have the good fortune to own a sweater like this as you move through the changes in your life!
You are too funny, Annie! I’m a sweater shaver type of gal – it’s similar to the comb only has batteries and works for you. It also works on upholstered furniture that has a little pilling action going on. Love the graphics
!!
Where do I get one!?
This sweater is from Garnet Hill, bought on sale a couple of years ago. I was VERY disappointed when it started to pill almost immediately, but I couldn’t part with it because it worked so well otherwise!
Yes, I love the sweater (and I Love everything Garnet Hill) but where do I get the sweater comb?
