Pilling is undesirable property that affects handle and appearance of fabrics. It happens when washing and wearing of fabrics causes loose fibers to begin to push out from the surface of the cloth, and, over time, abrasion causes the fibers to develop into small spherical bundles, anchored to the surface of the fabric by protruding fibers that haven’t broken. This article illustrates how pilling resistance of plain woven polyester/wool blended fabrics is minimized by mechanical support like heat setting, singeing.
