Step 1
Lay your dry knitwear on a flat, hard surface
Step 2
Identify the direction of the stitch
Step 3
Focusing on one area at a time, in short sharp movements, comb along the direction of the knitwear fibres, changing your pressure for various knit tensions.
For loosely spun, loft knits
use lighter pressure to avoid snagging/pulling
For tighter, compact knits
apply a firmer pressure
Step 4
Repeat until pill balls have been removed from the surface.
