fuzz balls

[johnnay]

i have a polo sweater made out of lambs wool.

i havent worn it for a while so it satyed hung up in my closet. i probably should have folded it and stuff but im lazy and suck at folding.

i put it on this morning and realized there were all kinds of fuzz balls on it. is there a way to get them off? do i have to go dry clean it...those are the wash instructions.

so yeah...do those fbaric shaver thigns work?

[johnnay]

i take it lint rollers wont work? damnit...those things are so much easier.

the best thing is a lint brush or picking them off by hand. they say to NEVER cut them off with scissors.

it's science, don't argue.

I have a lint shaver from Circuit City, it works wonders but it sometimes rips holes into thin fabrics.

I used to pick the fuzzes off of my peacoat during busrides to school.

You can get the minor fuzz with the shaver, but for the larger fuzzies, get a latchhook tool for rugmaking, and push it up from the inside of the sweater between stitches to the outside, spear the ball with the hook, flip up the latch and gently tug through a space between stitches.

^ sounds easy enough. if you don't have rugmaking tools, try chopsticks. with a strobe light.
