Cashmere fiber itself has good toughness. When the surface of the fabric is subjected to violent friction, some loose fibers will gradually break away from the yarn backbone and become silky, entangled and become hairy balls.
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.
Yarn spun tightly and cashmere is not easy to pilling, otherwise it is easy to pilling. But the chubby cashmere yarn can release the smooth and soft nature of cashmere. In order to ensure the hand feel, the cashmere yarn cannot be spun too tight.
Different weaves also have a certain influence on the degree of pilling of cashmere. In addition, contact with different objects (smooth, rough) during wearing will also produce different degrees of pilling. The sleeves, pockets and other parts are often rubbed and easy to pilling.
