The Gleener

Gleener is easy to use and is the only product on the market with three fabric-sensitive blades, so you can use it to remove pills and fuzz from almost any kind of garment. Plus — it actually works, easily and safely! We saw for ourselves the incredible demonstrations at TNNA. Neglected and abused sweaters, fleece, throw pillows, cottons (you name it--have you ever had pilling on carpeted stairs?) rescued from the second-hand store were transformed before our eyes. I know this sounds too good to be true, but take it from me (Laurel), this tool will add months and years of life to your fabric items without damaging them.

When I choose yarns for our website, I always consider pilling and the negative impact this has for the value of yarn. I won't say this tool eliminates the risk from pilling, but it sure helps. It comes with 3 blades, so you customize the tool to the item you want to renew. Plus, there's a lint remover to clean up and refresh your fabric, and it comes in a nifty little bag you can put in your clothes drawer where it's handy. Think about it — if you can renew just 2 garments from those nasty pills, so you can happily wear them again for another 6 months or a year, you have more than made up the price of the Gleener. It makes a great gift, too.
