I’ve always wondered about the usefulness of sweater shavers. We mentioned Alessi’s Piripicchio model, pictured here, in 2007, but I remained skeptical of taking a blade to my favourite pullovers.

It puts new life into old woollies, instantly revitalizing your winter wardrobe of cardigans, scarves and caps. $49.95, Rolo, 24 Bellair, 416-920-0100, rolostore.com.
