The initial effect of abrasion on the surface of a fabric is the formation of fuzz as the result of two processes, the brushing up of free fibre ends not enclosed within the yarn structure and the conversion of fibre loops into free fibre ends by the pulling out of one of the two ends of the loop. Gintis and Mead consider that the fuzz formation must reach a critical height, which is dependent on fibre characteristics, before pill formation can occur.

What is Pilling Formation on Fabric? | Pilling Resistance Test | Working Procedure of Pilling Resistance Test
mainly in knitted woollen goods made from soft twisted yarns. The introduction of man-made fibresinto clothing has aggravated its seriousness. The explanation for this is that these fibres are stronger than wool so that the pills remain attached to the fabric surface rather than breaking away as would be the case with wool. Figure 7.3 shows a pill on a cotton/polyester fabric.
Pilling Resistance Test:
Purpose and Scope:
This method is intended for the determination of the resistance of textiles of all kinds in all forms to the action of an applied resistive force. This causes pilling in the tested fabrics
Apparatus:
· Pilling tester
· Metal plates 4 inch diameter and 1 inch thick
· Standard for assessing the pilling grade
Working Procedure:
A piece of fabric measuring 10×10 inch is sewn to a firm fit when placed round a rubber tube. The out end of the fabrics is covered by cellophane tape and metal plates are placed on the tester .Run the tester for 300 cycles. Remove the sample and compare the sample with standard scale.
Standard
Pilling Standard: 3-4 gray scale matching
