The mechanism of pilling of sweaters is: during the processing of wool yarn and the wearing of sweaters, it is affected by various external forces such as friction and tension. The wool fibers in the wool yarn are easily hooked out to form a ring or single-head disengagement. After repeated friction, the wool fibers are entangled together to form a spherical shape. The degree of the wool ball is mainly determined by:

1. The product materials used in low-end raw materials, short length, uneven fineness, and high short hair ratio. Raw materials such as national hair and low-branch outer hair belong to this list.

2. Spinning process control

Spinning method, fiber properties and yarn twist determine how much fibers extend out of the surface of the yarn. Products spun with low-branch wool are often seen with thick and hard cavity hairs on the surface, which is more likely to be pilled.

3. Fabric structure

sweater products are knitted products, and their fabric density and the tightness of the coil structure also affect the wool pilling of the sweater. Fabrics with relatively flat surfaces, such as knitted fabrics and ribbed fabrics, have stronger anti-wool pilling performance than fabric structures with uneven surfaces such as fat flower fabrics and strip fabrics.

4. Washing method and washing method wearing sweaters are sometimes important reasons for wool pilling. Products that do not indicate "machine-washable" must be washed in the “ be careful hand washing. Do not put them in the washing machine to save trouble, because under the strong action of the washing machine, friction intensifies, causing wool pilling. Generally speaking, the friction and pilling of the elbows and ribs is more significant. From a certain perspective, wool pilling is the “ twins ” of the whole wool product.

How to prevent sweater pilling

Pilling is a common feature of wool products. During the wear and use of wool fabrics, the short fibers that protrude the surface of the fabric are easily tangled into balls, affecting the appearance and causing felts. Especially high-end products have the need for close-fitting, soft and smoothness, which will increase this trend. Pilling is related to raw material performance, spinning and dyeing technology, braiding structure, and wearing methods. So how to prevent sweaters from pilling?

1. When using fine wool wool yarn (cashmere type), mercerized wool yarn, and tensil series wool yarn, the knitting density should be appropriately increased and the flower shape should be less woven.

2. When wearing it, the sweater and the clothes inside and outside should be smooth.

3. Remove and wash frequently, usually re-brand once every 2-3 years. Use neutral detergent or soap powder when washing, and the water temperature is below 50℃. Do not rub and twist it, spread it flat and dry it.

4. Most sweaters nowadays are blended with wool and acrylic, or blended with wool and viscose fiber. Acrylic is easy to pill, viscose fiber is easy to static and pill, and the wool itself will also be slightly pilled, and generally mercerized wool will not pill.

Pilling method for washing sweaters:

1. When washing, put the sweater inwards and the friction on the surface of the sweater can prevent the sweater from pilling.

2. Washing your sweater with shampoo can make your sweater soft and natural.
