This is a badge bit (
BB) that is part of the
PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the
straw badge in
Textiles.
It is lovely to snuggle into a warm sweater until ... it starts pilling! Time to clean up that lovely garment.
To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
- remove pills/pilling from at least one piece of clothing like a wool sweater or leggings
- use a manual or electric device like a razor or a sweater shaver
- clarification: using only a tape lint roller is not sufficient
To document your completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pictures or
video (less than two minutes):
– the garment showing lint/pills
– the materials or device(s) used to remove lint and pills
– an action shot of pills being removed
– the same garment after your ministrations
– provide commentary on the process if it is not obvious
Crazy Organized has several ideas on this topic and
The Spruce has ideas on how to prevent future pilling.
