A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

Get something called a "fabric comb". It's what my grandparents and great grandparents used to depill all their clothes, including delicate wool and cashmere, and that's what I stand by. Cheap, come in different sizes, tooth ranges, and no need to change batteries. Hard to enshittify that.
Find an YouTube video to show you how to comb different grains/types of cloth with it. I was taught by my grandma, but it's pretty easy once you know what you're doing.
Hey! Just wanted to say thanks again for the recommendation - got one and I’m never buying one of those cheapo electric ones again.
Hell yeah!
