The difficulty of pilling of different fabrics is also different. Generally speaking, natural fibers and rayon (except wool) are not easy to form balls even after raising, so the pilling phenomenon is slight; and synthetic fibers are raised and pilling. The phenomenon is serious, especially nylon, polyester, polypropylene, etc.; fine and short fiber fabrics are easier to pilling than coarse and long fiber fabrics; loose fabrics are easier to fluff and pilling than fabrics with tight structure.

2. Use to produce pilling

Electrostatic and friction during use can also cause pilling

3. improper washing causes pilling

Improper cleaning time, temperature, and detergent selection can also cause pilling. For example, if the washing time is too long, the fiber will be damaged, and the fiber will break and more fiber ends will be formed, thereby increasing the possibility of pilling.
