If you, like me, have an ever-growing collection of cozy sweaters, then the Conair Sweater Shaver will revolutionize your winter wardrobe, as it has mine. It might even save you from adding new sweaters to that collection by giving your old ones extra long lives.
After seeing someone post before-and-after pictures of their sweater post-shave online, I ordered it immediately. Hesitant at first to try it on more precious knits, I started with an old blue cashmere crewneck that had had a little bit of love. (Maybe too much love. I once embroidered hearts on it at an unexpected workshop held during a wedding weekend.) I figured if this new device sliced my sweater in half, it was just meant to be. It did quite the opposite. I was amazed.
All in a minute, the sweater shaver had revitalized the crewneck and all the fluffy pilled balls that had worn on the wristbands and sides from carrying my bags suddenly disappeared. The embroidered sweater has now returned into regular cold weather rotation.
The electric sweater shaver has become the inexpensive household tool I tell other people about. The depiller is sensitive for delicate knits, and rejuvenates my sweaters at the beginning and end of the season. The fuzzies that come off go straight into an easy-to-empty compartment, and it’s chargeable—no batteries required. Plus, there is no learning curve to using it. It now gets used on just about any surface with fabric, from furniture to throw blankets and pillows.
Go ahead and get one. I look forward to the before and after pictures.
