sticky tape won't remove 'fuzzballs' .. otherwise known as pillage or pills ... there are inexpensive (can be found for under $ 5) battery operated shavers that have a rotating blade set behind a flexible screen that when moved across sweater, will suck in and cut off the pills.
Can also be used for cotton shirts, raw silk, socks, and the pills that happen on polyester pants.
I've been using the same one for over 10 years.

A razor. Cheapest, easiest way to do it. Just get the razor out that you shave your legs with, pop in a new blade, lay the sweater on a flat surface, and shave away.
They sell these little gizmos to remove fuzz balls, but they are not worth the money. A simple razor works best. You may need 2-3 blades before the sweater is done.

They make special tools but you can take a brand new (sharp) bic or other disposable shaver and VERY CAREFULLY fun it over the sweater to remove the fuzzballs.
Put the sweater on a hard surface, like the ironing board and shave away.

depending on what kind of fuzzballs you're encountering, a bic razor can remove unwanted sweater fuzzies.

Masking tape. The wider the better. Wrap it loosely around your hand, sticky side out. Press it against your sweater and all the fuzz sticks to the sticky on the tape.

I usually take a fint tooth comb and lightly "comb" the sweater to remove the fuzzies. You can also buy a "Sweater De-fuzzer" at most department stores. They are pretty inexpensive and work really well.

I use a straight edge razor, that seems to work the best. Go in the opposite dirrection of the grain of the sweater.

I don't know if you can find any but I used to have a little battery operated tool that removed them, had holes and cut them off like a razor.
