3-1 Pilling property:


3-1-1 Blend composition and yarn count:


From table (2) it is observed that pilling tendency of the fabric samples increase with decrease in the wool content of the blend in the all samples. This may be due to the fact that greater number of polyester fibers migrated on the surface of yarn with increase in the polyester content of the blend and hence the pilling increased, and converse is true for wool fibers used in the blend. Wool fibers fuzz more readily than polyester fibers but this fuzz wears off easily.

It is also evident from table (3) that yarn cont has significant affected on oiling tendency of the fabric samples, the yarn count becomes finer pilling decreasing, which may be due to the fact that fine yarns are used to weave fabrics, the number of intersections is greater than when coarse yarn is used. In the other hand coarse yarn is less compact and results in more slippage of fibers as compared to fine yarn, this result is not agreement with the findings of Richards and Sharma.


3-1-2 Weave Structure and fabric set: -


It is seen from results shown in table (2) that satin woven fabrics have lower pilling resistance as compared to twill and plain woven fabrics. In other words, the longer the float length the higher is the pilling propensity. In case of plain woven fabrics, there is higher number of intersections between the warp and weft yarns which offers an increase to slippage of fibers and difficult to easily fuzz formation on fabric samples surface.

It is also seen from table (2) that weave structures and fabric specifications have great influence on the fabric cover factors. In case the fabric cover increases, this yields to decrease the pill tendency of fabric samples due to increase number of cross- over points (intersections between the warp and weft yarns).


It is also observed from tables 3 and 4 that weave structures and fabric sets have significant influence on pilling tendency of fabric samples.
