A new Thursday feature, questions from you knitters, answered for the benefit of all. I encourage you to add your thoughts in the comments below. Community answers are rich answers!

Today's question was about Lettuce Pullover, but applies to Wispy, Whisper and Featherweight:

Hannah - how is the original garment wearing? I’m concerned about the pilling and stretching with that Malabrigo Lace. Thanks!

I haven't found stretching to be an issue.

Malabrigo yarns do pill, it’s true, especially in areas that rub together such as under the arms. Here are some suggestions:

sweater stones and razor blades for removing the pills
avoid wearing your sweater under anything like a jacket, especially if that jacket doesn't have a lining. You want to show your sweater off anyway, right?
it shouldn’t pill forever! If you keep up with the initial pills with your stone or razor the pilling with slow down.

What is your experience, knitters?
