Many years ago, before I had even met Michael, a classmate at BYU told me about a wedding gift she had gotten called a "de-piller." Its' whole purpose was to remove the little pill balls that accumulate on clothing and blankets over time. She just went on and on about it. She raved about it so much that I've never forgotten about this crazy little invention, and have been kind of curious about it ever since but never really pursued it, didn't know what it would look like, and didn't even know where to find one if I did.
Fast forward 6 years. At JoAnns last week, I was standing in line to checkout and on the sale table up front was a small contraption labeled a "lint shaver" for $4. Thanks to its successful packaging I recognized it as the object I've been curious about all these years. So on an impulse I bought it because I figured even if it was total crap it would only be a waste of a few dollars.
Behold:
You can clearly see which sleeve I used the shaver on and which one I didn't. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this little machine! I was about to give all my sweaters to DI because I've had them for a few years and they were starting to look old, but thanks to this little contraption they look brand new again. Next up is all of the baby's changing table covers - I made the mistake of washing them with new towels and they've been covered with little towel fibers ever since, but I'm pretty confident this will restore them to their former glory.
And in case anyone's interested, you can find them in the laundry aisle at Walmart or in the iron-on transfer sheet aisle at JoAnns.

That is so funny! We have one and I just pulled it out last night, all the while singing the praises of the tiny little contraption. I highly recommend them, too! Best $4 I ever spent!
I'm gonna have to get me one of these!!! :)
Be careful...I went a little crazy once and took a chunk out of my sweater with one of those!
