I have the nicest pink sweater that has dark pills on it from washing. I have tried picking them off with my fingers but it takes too long!! I love this sweater and really want to wear it again, but not with all these pills!

Wrap packaging tape backward around your hand (sticky side out) then pat the sweater down while someone else is wearing it. When the tape fills up with pills, rewrap and do it again. The next time you wash it, make sure that you wash it by itself.

Go into Wal-Mart and get a fabric shaver its back in the sewing section or iron dept. Or you can walk on over the the sweaters and pick out a new one. The pills are a sign of the sweater being old.

Have you thought about a sweater shearer?
It is a little hand-held device that shaves off sweater pills. Some travel stores have them

There is a small battery powered pill remover. It does not take very long to remove those nasty little pills. You could probably find it at Wal-Mart or a Bed, Bath, and Beyond, or similar stores

Go to a fabric store & ask the clerk; most stores carry what you need. The clerk will know. I have a pill remover & it works just great! And it's very inexpensive; maybe $3.

singer makes a machine with a vaccuum and a cutter that you run over the pills and it gets rid of them. I would try that. Although I haven't a clue where to find it. i think you can order it off the internet.

Use a simple, inexpensive electric lint remover. They're sold all over the place, here's an example link I pulled off google for $19.
Best to you.

All you need to do is buy a lint shaver. They are a wonderful tool and work on just about every fabric. I bought one for about 10 dollars on Carol Wright gifts website.

Take them with water! Hahahahahahaha!
Okay, just kidding. Those kind of pills can be quickly removed with one of those pill-remover-shavy thingies, the name of which I can't remember. But I've seen them and even owned one once. They're great, and they really work.
Sorry, that's the best I can do for now.
