Many depill tools remove sweater pills by scraping them off, which removes more fiber than necessary and can abrade your knits. Razor blades work well to cleanly remove pills, but can potentially cut through your fabric - or your hand! Unsatisfied with these options, Julie set out to create something new: the Fuzz Off Comb. Our design is more gentle, efficient, and precise than typical tools, while being safe and easy to use. Watch the video above to hear Julie explain how.

The Details
1
Comb Design
The metal insert is actually a sharp razor blade surrounded by a protective metal "cage." The blade underneath easily slices away sweater pills while the cage protect your knits, skin, or any other surface from being cut. So you can shave with confidence, knowing only pilling and other fiber buildup will be removed!
2
Sustainable Materials
The body is made entirely of PLA, a 100% biodegradable material made from fermented plant waste. The steel Comb Refill is replaceable and recyclable, reducing material waste. Knit friendly and planet friendly!

Precise Functionality
The compact shape allows you to easily work on tricky areas like pockets and underarms. You can even get into the nooks and crannies of the most detailed pattern stitches like cables and ribbing. Since it behaves similarly to a razor blade, it's most efficient when held at an angle to the surface of your garment, as opposed to perpendicularly. For a full demonstration, watch How to Remove Sweater Pills.

Compact Size
The Fuzz Off Comb II measures in at just 2.75 x 2 x 0.25 inches (7 x 5 x 0.5 cm) and the Fuzz Off Comb (original) folds up to 4.875 x 1 x 0.375 inches (12.5 x 2.5 x 1 cm) - making them both an ideal travel size for sweater care on-the-go. Keep it in a purse or pocket, or in our organizational accessories like the Project Portfolio (shown here).
