The anti-pilling comb, the simple gesture to preserve the lustre of cashmere
Over time, the appearance of light pilling on a cashmere garment is a perfectly natural phenomenon, linked to everyday friction. Rather than worrying about it, NOTSHY offers a wooden anti-pilling comb designed to restore each piece to its smooth, refined appearance in just a few simple steps.
Why does cashmere pill?
Pilling results from repeated friction between the garment's fibres and other surfaces: bag straps, belts, armrests, or simply two panels of fabric rubbing together. This phenomenon is in no way a sign of poor cashmere quality: it affects all natural fibres, including the finest. Regular use of an anti-pilling comb simply keeps knitwear looking impeccable season after season.
A cedar wood comb, designed for the delicacy of cashmere
Made from 100% moth-repellent cedar wood, this NOTSHY comb combines effectiveness and gentleness. Its wooden construction naturally protects your pieces from moths, while offering a comfortable grip for a precise, controlled movement across the knit.
How do you use the anti-pilling comb?
The gesture is simple: lay the garment flat on a stable surface, then gently brush the knit in the direction of the weave, applying light pressure. The pills detach gradually, without damaging the fibre, revealing once again the full lustre and softness of the cashmere. This can be repeated as often as needed, as soon as the first pills appear.
The anti-pilling comb fits naturally into a complete cashmere care routine, alongside a gentle detergent and a protective wash bag. Together, these three accessories, brought together in our cashmere care kit, help preserve the quality of your pieces over the long term.
Please note that this item, due to its nature, cannot be returned.
