Details

Give well-loved knits a little refresh with Yarn Food’s red cedar wooden pilling comb. Designed to gently remove pills and bobbles from handknitted and woollen garments, it helps keep your favourite sweaters and accessories looking their best for longer.

Pilling naturally occurs when loose fibres rub together during wear, creating small bobbles on the surface of the fabric. It is particularly common in areas that experience more friction, such as under the arms, around the elbows and along the sides of a garment.

Simply lay your garment on a flat surface and gently draw the comb across the affected areas to lift away surface pills. Used regularly and with care, it helps maintain a soft, tidy finish without damaging the fabric.

Made from aromatic red cedar wood, this reusable comb offers a simple, plastic-free way to care for your woollens. A useful addition to any knitter’s toolkit—and a lovely way to give the garments you have spent so much time making the care they deserve.

How it works

Place your garment on a clean, flat surface and hold the fabric gently in place. Draw the comb lightly across the pilled area in one direction, using short, controlled strokes. Remove the collected fibres as you work and repeat only where needed.

Always use a light touch and test the comb on a small, inconspicuous area first, particularly when caring for delicate, fluffy or loosely knitted fabrics.
