They’re those nubby little balls of fluff that turn your smooth sweaters into a woolly weed garden. Picking them off only leads to potential unravelling and who wants to take scissors to a sweater? Thankfully, the easy-to-use, pumice tool known as the Sweater Stone , easily removes the pilling and restores fabric nap so that your garment remains gorgeous. Thank goodness for the stone age.
