This clever £15 anti-bobble device will give your knitwear a new lease of life this winter
ok.co.ukThey say the most sustainable thing is the item you already own, but what if that item is looking… a little worse for wear? If you’ve pledged to be a little more environmentally friendly in 2024 but are struggling with knitwear that’s seen better days, you might want to hold off on adding that new jumper you’ve had your eye on to your basket just yet, because we’ve found the perfect handy little gadget that’ll give your tired old knitwear a brand new lease of life this winter.
The PHILIPS Fabric Shaver GC026/00, £14.60 here (was £15.99), is exactly what the bobbled old jumper or pilling cardigan has been crying out for after all this time, and one quick sweep with the device can restore your favourite lumpy sweater to its former glory.
Rather than turning to some less than efficient sellotape or leaving the fate of your favourite pieces up to a lint roller, both of which simply pull the top layer of bobbles off, the shaver carefully cuts off the offending pilling, leaving your clothes looking fresh and new again without worrying about sticky residue or ripping off half the fibres in the process like you do with other methods.
It’s not just knitwear that the PHILIPS Fabric Shaver, £14.60 here (was £15.99), can be used on either, with shoppers saying they’ve used to it debobble their coats, and it can even be used to get rid of pilling on items like T-shirts, hoodies and skirts.
