Are you sure it isn’t after and before?

I hope the left one is the "after" photo

Yes, you are correct haha I probably should have put a more accurate title

What did uou use? Mine never come out that good.

I used tiny scissors that came in a pocket sewing kit. I pulled the fuzzy bits taught and cut as close as I could without hitting the knit. It took about an hour per glove, though, so there are probably better ways!

I have a cardigan I need to do this for and I'm really hoping there is a better way!

I’ve heard that using a shaving razor can be a quicker way, if you have one :)

My bad, the de-fuzzed one is on the left!

An electric shaver capped to a point that it won't dig into the cardigan itself should work!

Look up ‘fabric shavers’ or ‘pill removers for sweaters.’ Get an electric/battery operated one, they work really well. $15-30 and maybe 20-30min for an entire sweater. Gloves are trickier with all the small spaces but for sweaters, blankets, couches, pillows, etc the electric ones are great!

There are ways to do and ways not to do. Lots of YT vids on the subject of depilling knits.
