Pilling test for textiles
The fabric's tendency to fuzz, lint, and pill is determined with the modified Martindale method outlined in standard ISO 12945-2.
Small fibers that come loose from the surface of a fabric can form fuzzy balls, called pills. This can negatively affect the appearance and durability of the fabric.
During the test, pieces of the sample material are continuously rubbed against each other. These are then inspected for the presence of pills after a given number of cycles, and a score of 1-5 is given to represent how prone the fabric is to pilling (the higher the number, the less prone to pilling).
