About This Product
Pilling is a fabric surface fault in which small pills of entangled fibres cling to the surface. They form during wearing or washing, when loose fibres protruding from the fabric tangle into small bundles. In the test, specimens from a fabric sample are rubbed against each other for a set period, and their appearance is compared with rating photographs to grade the fabric. The tester is used in textile testing labs and in textile technology teaching.
