I know there is something you can buy to scrape the 'balls' from wool clothing anyone know what it's called and where I could get one?
 
I got one in the dry cleaners. Quiet basic, more suitable for removing white 'fuzz' off dark clothing. Not much good on the fluff balls. I find that manual removal is the only way to go. Boring, but oddly very relaxing!,
 
I bought a battery operated "fuzz" remover in Lidl a few years ago, it's great for removing the balls from wool jumpers.
 
I got a defuzzer thing (can't remember the technical name) in H & M; however for a diy method try wrapping sellotape around two fingers and then attacking the jumper, it works. As ophelia said, its very relaxing!
 
I think that dry cleaners stock brushes to get rid of balling foam from jumpers.

My problem with jumpers is that after moving to Cork - my jumpers have been attached.

Holes simply appear on lambswool and wool jumpers.

It was so bad - I have swithed to arcyic and cotton jumpers.

I never experienced this before.

They must be swarms of jumper eating insects in the area.
 
We have used believe it or not a disposable razor eg bic or gilette, dont think it would work on Aran sweaters or the like
