pilling?

I love my sweater.... BUT the pilling looks terrible. What has worked especially well for you all that cleans up the pills? I have an elecric de-fuzzer, but haven't tried it yet since the pills are pretty big.

I am interested in making this again someday in Katia 'Diana.' I think the quality of the fabric will make it look much better over time.

Has anyone tried this sweater in 'Diana?'
