Have you ever pulled out your favorite sweater and thought that it had lost its beauty? These little balls that appear as if by magic sometimes give the impression that the garment has aged too quickly. However, this phenomenon affects almost all wardrobes, even the most neat. Good news: understanding what’s behind these pills is already taking a big step towards wool sweaters that are always elegant and cozy, season after season.

Before we pull out the miracle solution, let’s take a moment to understand. Pilling is neither a manufacturing defect nor a sign of negligence; it is simply the natural reaction of the fibres. Wool, like cashmere, is made up of fine, soft fibers that tend to shift. By dint of friction — against a coat, a handbag or even a chair — certain fibers rise to the surface and intertwine, forming these famous little balls.
