More New Toy(s): The Gleener

I stopped by my favorite yarn store over the weekend to pick up some elastic for a pair of socks I'm going to attempt to recreate (I currently have a machine-made version of it) and some extra Chiagoo sock end caps when I chanced upon this:

The Gleener

This is a sweater keeper; a sweater tool that keeps your sweaters (hand made or store bought) in prime condition.  Here's the low down on it (from the Gleener's website):
3 Fabric-Safe Edges: Each carefully designed edge targets a different kind of fuzz ball — from big and bulky to medium and super fine — reviving natural fibers, synthetics and blends.

• Edge #1: Ideal for big & bulky pills like those found on heavy woolens, blends and synthetics.
• Edge #2: Best for medium pilling like those found on cashmere, merino and finer wools. It also works great on fleece.
• Edge #3: Revitalizes your summer knits, t-shirts, silk blends and ultra delicates by removing fine pills.

Built-in Lint Brush: The Gleener Ultimate Fuzz Remover is 2 clever products in one. The integrated lint brush picks up pet hair in a flash, dusts away dandruff and can be used to beautifully finish any de-pilling job.

Ergonomic Design: The Ultimate Fuzz Remover's ergonomic handle with a soft over moulded grip, makes de-fuzzing a cinch. A strategically placed Quick Release Button lets you easily swap edges between projects.

Ready When You Are: Battery-free and easily portable thanks to the included travel pouch, you have all the tools necessary to save any fave.

Use it virtually anywhere, on anything!
