I have a jumper which I love, but it is a very naughty jumper. It bobbles and moults too.
it's made of viscose/ cotton/angora and polyamide.
any tips to whip it into shape please?
TIA

    You can roll those plastic hair roller things over it or go over with a disposable razor to get rid of bobbles.

    No, it'll pile up with wear and tear.

    Hand washing it very gently might help to reduce the pilling.

    For the moulting I've heard of putting it in the freezer (in a freezer bag) overnight before you wear it or alternatively a light misting of hairspray to stop it shedding.. No idea if it works but might be worth a try!
