Characterizing Fabric Pilling Due to Fabric-to-Fabric Abrasion

Abstract

This paper describes a cylindrical lighting system and its applications for objectively assessing fabric pilling. This cylindrical lighting system allows easy isolation and measurement of pills by illuminating only the pills and suppressing the background. Using this new lighting scheme, the pilling properties in two knitted fabrics are successfully explored as a function of fiber type and abrasion cycles.
