Every winter, I see people donate perfectly good sweaters and coats just because they look "fuzzy" or "worn out."
That fuzz (pilling) happens to almost every fabric eventually. It doesn't mean the quality is bad; it just means you have friction.
The Fix: Instead of buying a new $50 hoodie, spend $10 on a Fabric Shaver. It’s basically a safe razor for your clothes. It gently shaves off the fuzz balls without cutting the fabric.
I used one on a 3-year-old coat, and it looked brand new in 5 minutes. It works on couches and blankets too.
