Recent research on pilling of wool knitwear
Pilling occurs when fibers entangle during washing, dry cleaning, testing or wearing to form balls or pills which stand proud of the surface of a fabric. This negatively affects the appearance and quality of the fabric, making garments made from such fabrics much less attractive to discerning consumers. Therefore, pilling has been identified by the wool textile industry as one of the most important quality issues, and considerable research effort has been directed towards addressing this long standing problem. In order to tackle this outstanding problem, recent research on wool knitwear pilling has been focused on pilling prediction, testing and controlling. This paper highlights some major efforts in this direction, including using the artificial neural networks (ANN) for predicting pilling propensity of single jersey and rib knitted wool fabrics, quantifying the contribution of the various fiber/yarn/fabric attributes to pilling propensity, and examining existing and alternative pill evaluation systems.
