Hairball Removal
I learn many things from my fellow bloggers. The newest thing is called hairball removal. I learned about this on the blog called
私がめがねをかけるとき, that is written by Toki. I didn't know about removing the little balls that form on my socks and other garments! Not only was Toki helpful in writing the post about it, she sent me the special tool to do it! It is a Clover product, made in Japan.
I have a drawer full of socks that are waiting to have their hairballs removed. Thank you Toki for educating me about this process and for sending me the special tool!
(Please notice the beautiful blue hand knit socks and gloves next to the red and white heart socks. They were made and given to me by Leonore, who blogs at Needle, Pen and Sword.)

That is a clever invention and those blue socks are so pretty.
I've never noticed hairballs on my socks. Now I need to check!
Japanese scissors are scissors that I have been familiar with when doing handicrafts since I was a child. Both my grandmother and mother used it.
Try the sharpness of Japanese scissors by cutting hairballs.
Of course, you can also use it for everyday crafts.
That is a great idea, I used to have a little battery powered thing that looked like a mans razor that took hair balls of knitted things.
I have another tool, a piece of plastic with an edge of rough plastic (or metal?). You use the tool by striking the hairballs off the surface of sweaters and socks etc. It is very useful and quick.
Of course, I immediatly recognized those socks! How are they doing in terms of pilling (hairballs)? I was hoping the silky sock yarn would hold up a little better.
