Kathy at the Unbroken Thread is stitching a crewel piece by Nicola Jarvis and ran into a problem with the black wool she was using on one of the birds--it fuzzed! You won't believe what she used to fix the problem--a baby brush from the drugstore!

The ones we have in the US are more like this...

...but I bet they work the same and that we can find them even cheaper than this one I found online. Great idea! I think this will work nicely for removing bits of ripped out threads and the little fuzzy pieces you sometimes have after trimming turkey work.
Time to go shopping for a new tool!
UPDATE: Patricia swears by these little plaque brushes for removing fuzz.
