Bobbles are fuzzy balls that form on knitted fabrics, especially sweaters and jumpers. Constant friction causes fibres to break and bunch together to form small pilings or balls.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll notice bobbles mostly on areas that experience the most friction such as down the sides where you frequently run your hands, under the armpits and on the cuffs.<\/p>\n

Bobbles are more common on synthetic fabrics like polyester, nylon and cotton. But they also occur on natural garments made from wool or cotton.<\/p>\n

If left to spread, bobbles can make a new sweater or cardigan can look old and worn out.<\/p>\n

The easiest and safest way to get rid of bobbles and pilings is using a bobble remover, also known as a fabric shaver. It works quickly and there is little risk of damaging the fabric.<\/p>\n

Bobble removers are not just great for restoring sweaters, jumpers and cardigans. You can also use a fabric shaver on a blanket, sheets, upholstery and jerseys.<\/p>\n

In this buying guide, we review the best bobble removers (or fabric shavers) you can buy online and give you tips for choosing the best one for your needs.<\/p>\n

Note: <\/strong>Most bobble removers are designed to deal only with pilings and bobbles. If your problem is lint or pet hair, get a lint remover brush or rollers. If the problem is loose threads, cut them off with a pair of scissors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What to Consider When Choosing a Bobble Remover<\/h2>\n

A. Adjustable Height and Speed<\/h3>\n

Most bobble removers allow you to adjust the height of the shaver usually by adding or removing a cap at the front. With others, you twist the cap to raise or lower it.<\/p>\n

Different heights are ideal for different fabrics. If the fabric is smoother, lowering the height can help you get all the bobbles. For thicker fabric with large bobbles, raising the blade height will make for a more effective shave.<\/p>\n

You may also want to raise the blade height when working with delicate fabrics that can catch or tear easily.<\/p>\n

Another adjustable feature to look for is speed. Again, this allows you to work with different fabrics.<\/p>\n

You can speed up the blades when shaving a thick woollen blanket or sweater and lower it when working on a more delicate or thinner fabric.<\/p>\n

B. Varying Hole Sizes<\/h3>\n

Bobbles form in different sizes from small pilings that are hard to see to large ones that you can easily feel with your hand.<\/p>\n

A good bobble remover should have varying hole sizes to accommodate all kinds of bobbles. Most have at least three hole sizes. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

C. Replaceable Blades<\/h3>\n

A bobble remover with replaceable blades saves you money since you do not need to buy a new bobble remover when the current blades get dull. You simply pop in new blades.<\/p>\n

Most bobble removers actually come with spare blades, so you won\u2019t have to buy new ones for a while.<\/p>\n

D. Battery<\/h3>\n

Most bobble removers are electric. Having an electric motor allows the blades to rotate fast enough to quickly clear bobbles.<\/p>\n

Bobble removers are usually battery-powered, rather than being plugged in. Cheaper ones use AA batteries while premium ones use a rechargeable battery.<\/p>\n

Personally, we prefer the rechargeable ones since you\u2019ll never need to worry about buying new batteries. Rechargeable bobble removers come with a USB cable so you can charge the battery from a wall adapter, a laptop<\/a> or power bank.<\/p>\n

Battery life is typically one hour of continuous use.<\/p>\n

E. Safety Lock<\/h3>\n

Your kids might get curious about the new gizmo that goes bzzzz <\/em>and may want to play with it. This is obviously dangerous because of the spinning sharp blades.<\/p>\n

Look for a bobble remover with an integrated safety lock. It stops the blades if the top mesh cover is opened.<\/p>\n

To be completely safe, remember to put the bobble remover away after using it.<\/p>\n

F. Accessories<\/h3>\n

Here are some of the accessories to look for.<\/p>\n
