Your favorite sweater accidentally got mixed in with the regular wash, and now it’s covered with woolen lumps and pills. Do not throw it out! Here’s what to do…
Gently rub the surface of your sweater with a pumice stone (yes, that thing that smoothes out rough heels). You might need to (carefully!) clip big pills with scissors, but the stone will detach the rest without harming the weave. Your sweater will look as good as new!
