...is one of those cheap, battery-operated lint shavers!
It gets off ALL the fluff and pilly bits and they end up looking better then they did brand new- seriously!

If you have handknitted woolen longies, shorties or soakers, you have to get one! They come out all smooth and silky and look fab :D

If I could be bothered, I'd even show you a before and after pic so you know what I mean :laughing:

Just had to share! :D

mine keep dying really quickly, the last one only lasted a day :thumbsdown: I think I work them too hard :p

But I love the fabric comb I got for $2, it's got a rough metal edge, works great too

I have the ezy comb and they are even cheaper. :yes:
I find the batterry operated lint shaver easy (yep like the battery operated tooth brushes yep lazy)

Big W, Spotlight, Lincraft, and perhaps K-mart? Even check the small sewing sections in the supermarket, you might have luck there!

I got mine from Big W :thumbsup: I've had it for about...say.. 6 weeks and I just replaced the batteries for the first time, and that's with a lot of use! I went crazy with it when we got out our winter coats, they needed all the pilling taken off and look fab now! :D :yes:

Oh I so need one of those, some of our soakers are looking a little sad - my first knitting attempts with the cheap wool!

Thanks for the tip!
