Help my new wool sweater, cardigan, jacket or blanket fluff.

You just bought your new sweater and only wore it once and your new sweater immediately looks like a much-worn sweater, full of fluff.

Maar niet alleen een trui kan gaan pillen, dit kan ook het geval zijn bij wollen dekens, jasjes en vesten.

Some people think that the fluff, also called pills, has to do with the quality of the wool. But it definitely doesn't have to be that way.

The fluff is created by friction of the wool, the wool threads tangle around each other and then you get the effect of fluff. While wearing, this is caused by, for example, sitting with your back against a chair, your elbows touching the table top, putting on your coat over your woolen clothes, there are many reasons why your sweater comes into contact with abrasive elements.

What can you do about fluffing the wool?

When you are going to wash your woolen garment, you can wash another rough garment with it, for example a coarse towel, but of course wash on the wool wash program with a wool detergent that contains lanolin and do not spin hard, do not dry in the dryer.

Can you also remove the fluff?

Never remove fluff by hand by pulling it off, as this will damage the wool.

You can indeed remove the fluff by using a fluff clipper, which can be ordered from us.

You can also remove fluff with a pumice stone, such as the Saicare Foot Sponge, which can also be ordered from us.

Always be careful when you start with a knife, shooting is done in no time and then you have a hole in your garment or blanket.
