It works on natural and synthetic fibers and is suitable for de-pilling sweaters, fleece garments, and upholstery, with a durable construction made in Seattle since 1986. User reviews note it is most effective on small, fine pills and robust fabrics, but it may leave a crumbly residue and should be used with care on delicate or single-ply knits to avoid fabric thinning.","url":"https://www.simons.ca/en/women-accessories/faux-collars-laces-ties/sweater-stone--14004-4000?colourId=0","brand":"Simons","condition":"new","product_category":"women accessories > faux collars laces ties","material":"100% pumice stone","image_url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/14004/4000/10/A1_2.jpg","additional_image_urls":[],"images":[{"id":"img-1784702829740-0","url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/14004/4000/10/A1_2.jpg","alt_text":"Sweater stone product image (primary)","position":1,"attributes":{"other":{"summary":"Studio-style product shot on a white seamless background with soft reflections and diffuse lighting; slight shadow under the product and subtle rear blur for depth.","observations":[{"key":"Background and surface","kind":"feature","value":"Smooth white seamless background and glossy white surface that produces a faint reflection of the stone and sleeve.","regions":[],"evidence_status":"direct"},{"key":"Lighting and shadow","kind":"feature","value":"Soft, diffuse lighting from above and front creates even illumination and a soft shadow beneath the product, with mild specular highlight on the sleeve top edge.","regions":[],"evidence_status":"direct"},{"key":"Depth of field","kind":"feature","value":"Foreground stone is in sharp focus while the white box in the background is slightly out of focus, producing a shallow depth of field.","regions":[],"evidence_status":"direct"}]},"colors":[{"name":"dark olive gray","part":"porous stone surface","regions":[{"x":0.72,"y":0.47,"width":0.18,"height":0.38,"confidence":"high"},{"x":0.14,"y":0.48,"width":0.58,"height":0.2,"confidence":"medium"}],"subject":"product","description":"Dark olive-tinged porous finish with matte, rough texture visible on top and right short side.","sampled_hex":"#3D3A2C","estimated_hex":"#3A3A2A"},{"name":"matte black","part":"paper sleeve front","regions":[{"x":0.1,"y":0.51,"width":0.62,"height":0.32,"confidence":"high"}],"subject":"product","description":"Matte solid black paper sleeve covering the front face of the stone.","sampled_hex":"#252525","estimated_hex":"#111111"},{"name":"off-white","part":"outer box","regions":[{"x":0.12,"y":0.08,"width":0.58,"height":0.3,"confidence":"high"}],"subject":"packaging","description":"Smooth off-white cardboard box with printed logo on front panel.","sampled_hex":"#D4D5D3","estimated_hex":"#F6F6F6"}],"product":{"summary":"Rectangular porous dark pumice-like stone with a removable black paper sleeve that has a circular logo and legible text on its front face.
