The ONLY Way I'd Remove Pilling From My Sweaters | 9 Methods Tested

About this video

The Gazette team tests nine different methods for removing pilling from wool sweaters, including common household items and specialized tools. They rate each method on cost, effectiveness, and ease of use to determine which depilling technique works best.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team ranks the electric depiller and nail file as the most effective depilling methods, both scoring 10/10 for efficiency, cost, and ease of use
• The Gazette team finds sandpaper to be the least effective option (1/10) due to difficulty controlling pressure and risk of damaging sweater construction
• The Gazette team recommends using tweezers and scissors only for minor pilling, as this manual method is too time-consuming for heavily pilled sweaters
