The cashmere comb is the perfect accessory to keep your knitwear in top condition. Loose fibers on the surface of knitted fabrics rub together during wear, causing small balls to form, commonly known as "pilling." Common areas include under the arms, elbows, and on the sides. This is easily removed with this comb. The extra care and attention will help extend the life of your knitwear and keep it soft to the touch. To use: Lay the knitwear flat, hold the affected area taut, and gently comb the garment to remove pills. Be sure to pay close attention to high-friction areas, such as armpits, sides, and elbows. Remove lint and debris from the comb.
