With the changes of the times and the progress of technology, we all have higher and higher requirements for dressing, not only for good-looking styles and excellent quality. Of course, the excellent quality here naturally does not allow pilling. So today I will tell you about this problem, what kind of fabric is easy to pilling, and how to solve it.

Cotton

Pure cotton fabrics are made of cotton as raw material. Generally speaking, pure cotton fabrics have better moisture absorption and heat resistance, and more comfortable. Naturally, pure cotton fabrics are divided into several grades. The best pure cotton is made of the longest fibre extracted from cotton. After such an extract is raised, the surface will have a soft and comfortable appearance. Fabrics with wool on the surface actually bind together after the wool fibres on the rubbed surface, thus forming pilling.

Numb

For this kind of fabric, it is divided into many hemp fabrics, including ramie, flax, and other hemp fabrics. The hemp weaving used in clothing is flax, which is formed by flax fiber processing. It can be said that linen fabrics rarely pilling. At most, the possibility of pilling in places with frequent friction such as cuffs will be higher. Good wrinkle resistance, not easy to pilling but easier to shrink.

Wool

As the name suggests, wool fabrics are fabrics spun from wool as a raw material. Because of the nature of wool, it must be pilling, because relatively high-quality wool or wool that has been processed will have more delicate hair scales on the surface, so the fit will be better, so it will not be easy to pick up. No matter how much wool it is, it will pilling.

Cashmere

This can be said to be a very precious fabric. It is made of a layer of fine fleece that grows on the outer skin of goats and hides the roots of the goat’s coarse hair. It can resist the cold in winter and fall off when it warms in spring. So it is very precious because its output can be said to be very rare. The most important thing is its own excellent quality and characteristics. Will such a good quality thing pilling? The answer is yes. After all, there will be friction when they are in contact, and the fiber ends on the surface will naturally be exposed, and the cashmere fibers will be shorter and easier to pilling.

Polyester

Polyester is a very important variety of synthetic fibers. It is a fiber made after spinning and post-processing. This fabric is characterized by better strength and elasticity, more wear resistance, light resistance and corrosion resistance, but its dyeability and moisture absorption will be more Difference. This fabric is easier to pilling, and it is not easy to be found because of the faster shedding.

Silk

Silk is a kind of textile. Products made of silk, synthetic fibers, and artificial shapes are called silk. Silk fiber can be said to be the only natural filament fiber that can be actually used. Because it is a long fiber, the holding force is relatively small, and the cross-section is close to circular, so it is relatively difficult to pilling, and silk fabrics basically do not pilling.

To sum up, relatively speaking, fabrics have the possibility of pilling, but it still depends on how you take care of it and the quality of the goods you buy.

Causes of sweater pilling

Raw material factors: the higher the quality of the wool raw material, the better the fineness, the denser the surface scales, the better the curl, the soft hand, but it is easy to entangle and pilling.

Fabric weave: different structures (flat needles, ingots, double ingots, etc.) and different densities (loose, tight) will also produce different degrees of pilling.

Wearing scene: Contact with different objects (smooth and rough) during wearing will also produce different degrees of pilling. The sleeves, pockets and other parts are often rubbed and easy to pilling.

Process: If the twist is loose, the woolen yarn will be rounder, and the yarn will be plump, but it is easier to pilling. On the contrary, the twist will be too tight, and the woolen yarn style will be lost, just like a rope.

Weather factor: The most important thing is autumn and winter. The weather is dry. It is extremely easy to generate static electricity after friction. Static electricity makes it easier for fibers to attract each other and interlace together, thus knotting and entangled into hairballs.

How to avoid the problem of sweater pilling?

Cleaning: When machine washing, the sweater should be turned over first, and then a nylon bag should be put on the outside of the sweater to avoid the friction area to the greatest extent and reduce the damage to the sweater~

Washing agent: Do not use traditional washing powder to wash sweaters. Use special sweater cleaner or shampoo to wash sweaters. Washing the sweater with shampoo can make the sweater soft and natural, making it less prone to pilling.

Sweater storage: When storing sweaters, wrap them in storage bags or plastic bags to reduce the number of frictions between sweaters and other clothes.

Don’t wear it continuously: Even if it is a knitted or woolen coat that does not need to be washed frequently, please wear it again every two or three days, because the clothes also need to rest.

The clothes have been pilled, what should I do?

You can remove it with the help of a small tool: Fabric Shaver

This electric hair remover is a good choice. It combines the functions of hair removal and sticking. The method of use is very simple. First, unfold the clothes flat and without wrinkles. Then turn on the switch and slide gently on the clothes; you can easily remove pilling and fluff without pressing hard;

How does the fabric shaver work?

When the switch is turned on, the blade rotates at a high speed to cut the hair ball, and at the same time absorbs the sticky hair debris caused by static electricity, saving the cost of sticking hair. In your hand, you will feel delicate and light. Its design uses a honeycomb safety net design, so you don’t have to worry about the fabric being hooked into the hole! For example, an electric shaver can shave your beard without damaging the skin. Are you still worried that the electric hair ball trimmer will damage your clothes? Looking at the actual measurement results, you can also find that the electric ball remover can not only clean the hairballs, but also does not destroy the original fiber texture, just like new clothes; when trimming, you can achieve a brand new one without pressing hard and touching it lightly.

It is necessary to completely solve the problem of sweater pilling, don’t be lazy in normal times, pay attention to cleaning and protecting, and get off the pilling from the root!
