Preventing pilling on woolies

All of my woolen jumpers and tops seem to pill after only one or two wears. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening?

You need to buy good-quality wools and stay away from anything acrylic. If in doubt, check the care label inside the garment. once a woollen item pills, you can remove it by plucking pilling off or using a razor, but the pilling always comes back. That’s why it pays to invest in higher-quality items at the point of purchase.
