Yarn Food Pilling Comb

Yarn Food Pilling Comb

Cashmere under the arms gone a bit bobbly? Favourite merino jumper looking fuzzy along the sides? Pilling is simply what happens when loose fibres rub together through everyday wear — it's not a flaw in your knitting or your yarn, just friction doing its thing in all the usual spots: underarms, elbows, anywhere a bag strap sits.

The Yarn Food Pilling Comb is the gentle, old-fashioned answer. Made from red cedar wood, this simple little tool combs away pills and surface fuzz, restoring a smoother, neater finish to much-loved garments. A light comb-over every now and then keeps knitwear looking cared for and means you'll get years more wear out of the pieces you treasure — whether you made them yourself or found them in a shop.

It's ideal for wool, cashmere, merino and other natural-fibre knits, and it's rather a lovely thing to have in the drawer: no batteries, no blades, just a beautifully simple tool doing one job well.
