After many people find that their cashmere sweaters have pilled, the first thing they do is to pull off the pills with their hands. In fact, this action is not advisable. In addition to causing damage to the cashmere fiber, the cashmere will also be damaged. It's easy to get silky, and nothing else helps.
In case of pilling, you should gently remove the hair ball with your hands, and remember not to pull it hard. Or after cleaning the cashmere sweater, use scissors to cut off the hair ball (shaving with a razor or clipper tool can easily cause secondary damage to the fibers). If you are afraid that you may not handle it properly, you can find a merchant to assist you.
As a medium-to-high-end clothing, cashmere sweaters have very strict production and processing requirements, so their pilling rate is actually not that high. Normally, hair balls will appear at first, but after being removed once, they will not appear again. The fibers of cashmere itself have relatively good toughness. When friction occurs with other fabrics, some fibers will tangle together and form hair balls.
So, if the yarn is spun tightly during spinning, cashmere will not be easy to pill in the later stage. If the yarn is spun loose, it will be easy to pill. But spinning is also a very particular process. If one pursues the balling effect and spins too tightly, the cashmere fibers will not be released, and the soft and waxy feel and effect of cashmere will not be available.
