One of the neatest ideas yet in my sewing room is one I got
from my daughter, Greta. I keep a lint roller near my sewing machine to pick up stay
threads and, what my mom called, frizzlens!
I'm betting that word came from
frizzy and I like it! It’s all those little threads that remain, for instance,
when you rip out a seam (There is a real word, frizzling, but that refers to crispy cooking). The lint roller gets those, too. Right this minute,
I’m working on some pants pockets, and although the pocket fabric is a very
pretty green, it is fraying and flying like sawdust in a lumber mill.

Another of my favorite pass times is to crochet rag rugs; those can get very messy, so I've added a lint roller to my project bag.
