Textured and loose-knit sweaters need attentive handling to keep their surfaces smooth and free of unwanted pulls. Everyday friction against rough surfaces is the most common cause of early wear.

Be mindful of shoulder bag straps, rough canvas totes, and jewelry with open prongs that can catch loose threads. Smooth leather-look purses or handheld bags minimize friction across delicate fuzzy textures.

When washing your knitwear, turn the garment inside out and place it inside a mesh laundry bag. This protects surface embroidery and loops from catching on zippers or buttons during the cycle.

If a pill appears over time from natural friction, avoid pulling it by hand, which damages yarn fibers. Instead, use a gentle fabric shaver to clean up the surface cleanly and preserve the weave.
