De-fuzzing a coat.

I love my wool pea coat.


I bought it from Target last Fall to wear for work and I've worn it pretty much every day this Winter. What I don't love is how fuzzy it gets. It collects all kinds of fuzz over time and that doesn't fly with me.

Last night I made it my mission to "de-fuzz" my wool coat. I have a sweater comb, but that just wasn't doing the trick. Then my husband mentioned he'd used one of our knives to de-fuzz his North Face fleece recently. Genius that man is!

So I got to work. It took me about 10 minutes from start to finish and I was DONE! I definitely recommend it! I found it worked best to use a serrated knife because the teeth do all the work to pull the fuzz out.


Happy de-fuzzing!

  1. Pretty good idea. How long does it stay de-fuzzed?

    1. I suppose it depends on what type of sweaters I wear or what I do while wearing it. I just defuzzed it a week or so ago, so we shall see!

    1. I'm so happy it worked out for you! Hope you were able to get a few more jackets defuzzed after your first one! :)

  3. That's brilliant!! I tried a reason blade on my old coat but that didn't help at all, works much better on softer materials like cardigans ! Thank you
