Full details
The Hemline Fabric and Wool Comb is an ideal solution for garment enthusiasts, knitters, and anyone looking to extend the lifespan of their wardrobe by removing unsightly fuzz, pills, and lint. Its primary benefit is the dual-sided design that allows for gentle care of delicate fibers alongside more robust cleaning for heavy-duty fabrics, though users should be mindful that it requires manual effort rather than automated operation. This compact tool, measuring 7.5 x 4.5cm, features a sustainable natural beech wood handle, making it a durable and eco-friendly addition to any sewing kit or laundry routine.

FAQs
Can I use this on all fabric types?
Yes, it is designed for most fabrics, but always test on a small, hidden area first, especially with delicate materials.
Which side should I use for cashmere?
Use the gold brass side specifically for delicate materials like cashmere and fine wool.
Does it require batteries?
No, the comb is entirely manual.
How do I store the comb?
Keep it in a clean, dry place to protect the beech wood handle.
Can it remove pet hair?
Yes, the black mesh side is effective at lifting surface lint and pet hair from many fabrics.
Troubleshooting
Comb is not removing lint effectively
Ensure the fabric is laid completely flat and held taut; check that you are using the correct side for the fabric type.
The comb snags on the garment
You are likely applying too much pressure or moving against the direction of the knit; use lighter, more controlled strokes.
Lint buildup is stuck in the teeth
Use a soft-bristled brush or a toothpick to gently clear fibers trapped between the brass teeth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool requires no setup or assembly. Compatibility is broad, covering most natural and synthetic fibers, but always perform a patch test on an inconspicuous area before treating the entire garment. To care for your tool, wipe it down with a dry cloth after each use to remove fibers from the brass teeth or mesh. Store in a cool, dry place to keep the natural wood handle in good condition. If lint becomes stuck in the brass teeth, use a small, soft-bristled brush to clear the debris.
