Pilling in knitted fabrics is a physical process caused by fiber friction leading to entanglement. It cannot be completely eliminated, but the pilling rate can be reduced by more than 70% through proper selection, wearing, and washing/care.
1. Correct Selection: When purchasing knitted fabrics, choose those with high-quality materials and high yarn density. This ensures a longer lifespan and reduces the likelihood of pilling.
2. Correct Use: When using knitted clothing or other items, avoid friction with rough surfaces such as hooks and loops, metal, and hard objects to prevent damage to the fabric surface and pilling.
3. Proper Care: When caring for knitted clothing and other items, pay attention to temperature, friction, and cleaning methods. Avoid frequent washing and agitation; hand washing with a mild detergent is recommended. Do not tumble dry in high temperatures.
Knitted fabrics may pill during use, but this can be reduced or avoided through proper selection, use, and maintenance. It's important to choose high-quality knitted fabrics with high yarn density when purchasing them. Additionally, avoid friction with rough surfaces during daily use to prevent pilling.
