What is pilling resistance?
Pilling resistance refers to a fabric’s ability to resist the formation of small balls of fibers, known as pills, on its surface after repeated use or washing. Pilling is a natural occurrence that happens when the fibers in the fabric rub against each other, causing them to become tangled and form small balls or pills on the surface of the fabric. Pilling resistance is a desirable quality in fabrics used in clothing, upholstery, and bedding because it helps the fabric maintain its appearance and durability over time. Manufacturers can improve a fabric’s pilling resistance by using high-quality fibers, selecting appropriate yarns, and using special finishing techniques. Additionally, consumers can help prevent pilling by following care instructions when washing and drying their garments or textiles.
