So, what's the best way to get fuzzies off of a sweater? One of my "lie flat to dry" sweaters got put in the dryer :doh :doh :doh and now it looks HORRIBLE. It would take me an eternity to pick all the bits off one at a time - is there an easier way? (Please say yes! :pray4)

I have used a razor before and "shaved" sweaters that had pilling problems.

I bought a cheap little battery powered clothing shaver. I love it. Especially with the handful of sweaters I have that pill up like crazy. I think it was $12.

What material is the sweater made out of?

It is : 80% cotton, 15% wool, 5% cashmere

There is something called a sweater stone that looks interesting, I'm going to try to find one to see if it works better than my little shaver which takes forever and doesnt' leave it looking really that much better.

I would try a fabric comb. I've had bad luck with the electric shavers ruining sweaters.
