Seeing pilling appear can be discouraging, especially if you like to take care of your clothes. However, it’s essential not to panic: this phenomenon doesn’t affect the warmth or comfort of the sweater. It mainly affects areas subject to repeated friction—under the arms, on the sides, or at the sleeves.
Rather than putting that sweater away at the back of the closet, it’s best to handle it gently. An inappropriate gesture could weaken the knit, whereas a few simple techniques are enough to restore its good looks, just like after a trip to the dry cleaners.
