You can use a bobble/lint/pill/fuzz shaver like this one.
Cheaply made jumpers use shorter fibres. Friction from another garment, or rubbing together, causes these to be pulled out and form the bobbles. Long fibre knits resist this. Wearing something smooth and slippy over your jumper (like the silky lining in a jacket) will reduce the friction and help prevent bobbling.
