The tools in our Sweater Care Collection work together to help protect your knits and keep them looking great for years to come. Each item is sold separately, allowing you to customize your own personal kit for sweater washing, wet blocking, and fine fiber care. We've written this comprehensive list to walk you through the details of each tool so you can build the perfect kit for your needs.
These eco-friendly nylon mesh cylinder bags keep your knitted and crocheted pieces, or any delicate washables, from stretching or snagging in the wash. The Small Sweater Care Washing Bag is the right size to wash accessories or small garments. The Large Sweater Care Washing Bag holds sweaters or other medium to large garments.
Cocoknits is committed to avoiding and reducing plastic waste wherever possible, so the Sweater Care Washing Bag is woven of yarn made from recycled plastics.

Our Super-Absorbent Towel speeds up the process of drying hand washables by absorbing excess water from your garment before air drying. Made from a lightweight felt-like cloth, it soaks up much more water than a regular bath towel.

Many depill tools remove sweater pills by scraping them off, which removes more fiber than necessary and can abrade your knits. Unsatisfied with this, Julie set out to create something new. Our Fuzz Off Comb is more gentle, efficient, and precise than typical tools, while being safe and easy to use.
The metal comb is actually a sharp razor blade surrounded by a protective metal "cage." The blade underneath easily slices away sweater pills while the cage protects your knits, skin, or any other surface from being cut. The compact size makes it easy to take on-the-go (when folded, it fits in our Accessory Roll and Project Wallet).
Because Cocoknits is committed to avoiding plastic wherever possible, the handle is manufactured from PLA - a 100% biodegradable plant fiber - and the metal combs are replaceable and recyclable.
If your Fuzz Off Comb has broken, please email us at knit@cocoknits.com and we will work with you to get a replacement or store credit.

This kit includes the essential materials you'll need to block your knits: 18 foam block tiles, 40 T-pins, and a Check Your Gauge Cloth. All conveniently packed into a jute tote for easy storage and transport. The heat-resistant tiles are made of formamide-free and formaldehyde-free EVA foam covered in a very low, lightly barbed pile which gently grips your knitting without pilling or leaving fibers. Tiles hold pins firmly in place, are suitable for use on any surface since moisture won’t seep through, and can be interlocked and assembled in a variety of sizes.
