Pilling: an enemy of style, not of quality
Seeing pilling appear can be discouraging, especially when you like to take care of your belongings. However, it is essential to de-dramatize: this phenomenon does not alter the warmth or comfort of the sweater. It mainly affects areas subject to repeated friction – under the arms, on the sides or on the sleeves.
Rather than putting this sweater away at the back of the closet, it’s better to act gently. An inappropriate gesture could weaken the knitwear, while a few simple techniques are enough to make it look good again, such as after a visit to the dry cleaners.
