Yes. Not the machine one. As another person says here it will make fabric thinner over time. Search Gleener. It’s a hand tool not a battery powered machine. It works very well and better for your precious knits! ☺️

I am very surprised to find out now that some patterns suggest only one size and changing needles to up or down the size? 😳
I feel like it’s cheating?!
(I’m not into sock knitting much and have never bought a pattern. I do my own thing when it comes to socks. So I didn’t know that 😓)

From your photo, it looks like woolen spun yarn which means it has no twist. (Most chunky yarns are very likely woolen spun) Those pill a LOT! So if I knit something that I will use heavily, I choose worsted. So I precent pilling in a way. Hope this helps. 😊

Gleener! It’s a fabric shaver. You can’t really prevent pilling. Some wool will less piling than others but they still will. The softer the wool, there would be more chance of pilling.
Anyway, I regularly use a gleener to get rid of it. I even use it for commercially sold T-shirts. 🧵

🧵FYI. In case people who don’t know Helen Rodel. She is not a crochet pattern designer. She is a fashion designer specialised in crochet. She sells her work and they are expensive as you would imagine. So I deconstructed her work and made it. Having crochet skill helps. 😃
