About This Product
Pilling is the formation of small balls of fibre on the surface of a fabric as it is rubbed in use. In textile labs, fabric samples are mounted on rubber tubes and tumbled in a rotating cork-lined box, so that the fibres rub against the cork and against each other. The number of revolutions is set on a counter, and the sample is then graded for pilling. The test helps students compare the pilling tendency of different fabrics.
