I meant to title this "Snag Nab It" as that's the tool I wanted to mention today but I flubbed the title and it's so funny, I left it. The Snag Nab It is a needle with a spiral at the point end that carries loose threads from the front of a knitted fabric to the back. The original use was to fix snags but we stitchers use it to carry loose thread ends to the back side. The first section shows the needle in close up and how it is used on clothing. Shop around as the prices vary.

I use this all the time! It is great to getting fuzzy fibers where you want them too!
I will have to get myself one of these--or drop a giant hint to Santa!
