It happens to the best of us, and the good news is there’s a handy tool to freshen up those pill-ridden sweaters in no time!
In our previous post we promised to share with you one of our favorite tools for this job that gets our hand-knits in tip top shape. So, to accomplish this, we turn to our Gleener Fabric Shaver. It's definitely a game changer. This tool has made it possible to get the longest life out of all the beautiful handmade items in our wardrobe.
Why use it?
The Gleener helps you get the longest life from your knits by removing those unsightly pills after wearing. It is lightweight and easy to use. It comes with 3 different Fabric Safe Edges™ so you don't hurt your precious woolens.
When can you use it?
Anytime. Anywhere. It's portable and comes with a little travel pouch to keep everything in one place.
