Know before you buy
The Sweater Comb is specifically designed for delicate knits, fine-gauge woolens, and wool coats. While it is gentle, we recommend testing it on an inconspicuous area first if you are working with particularly loose or fragile weaves.
Unlike electric shavers that use rotating blades, this manual comb uses fine metal mesh screens to lift pills without the risk of cutting or snagging the yarn. It provides more control, making it safer for your most delicate pieces.
Lay your garment flat on a firm surface and pull the fabric taut. Gently glide the comb over the pilled area in one direction, using light pressure to lift the fibers away from the knit.
Beyond its natural, pleasant scent, the cedar wood handle is chosen for its durability and ergonomic grip. It provides a sturdy, comfortable hold that makes the de-pilling process easier to manage.
Simply remove the collected fuzz and pills from the metal mesh screens with your fingers or a small brush. The stainless steel construction is easy to maintain and will not rust.
