Silkies - the cashmere brush from the laundress arrived today. With great trepidation, I used it and it was a success. Here are some before and after shots. I was having a hard time getting the exact same area in each shot so you might have to do some rotating in your head iykwim. I think the areas in question have improved significantly and I would give the product high marks.

My technique - brush lightly, brush in grain of cashmere, brush each area in question with about 5 strokes

It took awhile to get the pressure right but luckily I do not see shifting of the fibers. HTH

Nice job- it looks like you have the technique down to an art whereby you put the pilled fibers perfectly back in place. This is a much better fix rather than removing the pills because you do not take away any of the fabric which inevitably causes thinning. Bravo!

Just one other Input.
Do your new Shawls also come in square boxes?
I asked for my beloved rectangular ones, they told me that they were no longer available.....
Oh no.... I store my Shawls in their boxes... These square ones kill my System...
