I have several jumpers with bobbles. Can anyone please recommend a ‘de-piller’? There are so many on Amazon that I am keen to buy one that will work well and restore my jumpers. Thank you!

How spooky! Just this afternoon I de-bobbled a merino wool jumper. It was expensive but every time I wear it, it pills up. I used an old gadget called BobbleOff and after I put new batteries in it, it worked well. You can set it to long or short.
Good luck!

I need one as well! I was gifted a jumper for Christmas last year and within 3 wearings it had started to pill. I will look on amazon for one.

I used to shave mine with a disposable razor.
But you have to be careful.
PS. I am talking about woolly jumpers ...

Only just seen this. Another recommendation for Must Have Ideas too. Their anti bobbler is good and is re-chargeable which I think is a bonus.

You can get a manual one on Amazon for a couple of quid.
