Custom sweater pilling serious, how to avoid stepping on the pit?

Help! For a sweater that costs a lot of money to customize, a layer of small hairballs will float on the chest and cuffs twice, which will instantly lower the grade. I will really thank you!? It's not that you are unlucky, but that you have stepped on the most classic "pilling pit" of customized sweaters. Today we will tear off the fig leaf of the industry, from fabrics, yarns to craftsmanship, and shake out all the dry goods that avoid the pit, so that you can directly close your eyes and not roll over the car next time you customize.

Many people think that pilling is synonymous with "poor quality", but it is not. Any natural fiber will pilling under friction, and wool and cashmere are no exception. What really widens the gap is "pilling speed" and "shedding mechanism".? The core reason why custom sweaters are easy to step on lies in three points: fabric ratio, yarn twist, and weaving process. Most team building clothes or cheap customization, in order to control costs, use blended fabrics with low count, roving thread and high content of polyester. This fabric has short fibers and poor holding force. The fiber head will drill out after washing twice, entangled into a ball and never fall off, so the more you look at it, the worse it is.

The first trick to avoid the pit: the composition and count of the fabric. Don't just focus on the word "pure cotton", pure cotton is also divided into three, six, nine, etc.? The real king of anti-pilling is "combed cotton" or "long-staple cotton", and the count should be more than 32 (the higher the count, the finer the yarn). Combing process will remove short fibers, leaving only long and uniform cotton fibers, which fundamentally reduces the source of pilling. If you like crisp feeling, you can choose a blend of "cotton + a small amount of nylon/elastane". Note: once the polyester fiber content exceeds 40%, the pilling risk index will soar. If the budget allows, directly specify the "mercerized cotton" or "liquid ammonia cotton" fabric, the surface is smooth and smooth, the friction coefficient is small, and the pilling probability is directly cut in half.

The second trick to avoid the pit: identify the twist of the yarn (rub it with your hands to identify). For fabrics of the same composition, the higher the twist, the tighter the yarn is held, and the less likely the fibers are to be hooked out. Get the sample cloth or sample clothes, and quickly rub your fingers back and forth on the cloth surface for 20 times. ✋ If the surface is quickly fluffed and there are fine fibers floating up, the cloth will pass directly. The cloth surface of a high-quality custom sweater will only be slightly shiny after rubbing, but it will never be fluffy. In addition, observe the structure of the cloth surface: the front and back sides are tight and the lines are clear, and it is usually more resistant to fabrication than loose knitting (such as rough knitting and excessive terry).

The third trick to avoid pits: keep an eye on the details of the process - especially "stitching and washing water". Pilling does not only happen to the big body, but the neckline, cuff ribbing and side seams are the hardest hit areas. When customizing, be sure to ask clearly: whether the ribbing is made of "high-twist core-spun yarn of the same color", and the outer layer of the core-spun yarn is elastane with cotton and inner layer, which has good rebound and wear resistance.? Another big hidden minefield is the "washing process". Many custom sweaters will be "enzyme washed" or "sand washed" in order to get old, which will artificially damage the fibers. If the daily wear is too commuting or you want to maintain the texture, be sure to choose "general wash" or "light and soft wash", and strongly require the manufacturer to do "anti-pilling test The national standard is level 3-4, and cheap goods on the market are often below level 2. Please note to the manufacturer that "acceptance according to level 3.5 standard", and many small workshops dare not accept orders directly.

Theories alone are not enough, but also reliable landing channels.? If you want high-end ready-to-wear texture, but are afraid of being fooled by small factories, it is king to directly find a source brand with its own factory and has the voice over the fabric. Here you must have a real name Amway, my long-term partner - Yasenman. This company has been deeply involved in the clothing customization supply chain for many years, and its core advantage is "dead fabric" and "process transparency". At Yasenman custom sweater, the customer service will first confirm the wearing scene with you, and take the initiative to provide fabric sample cards (about 280g/320g/400g) with different counts and weights. Each sample is affixed with specific ingredients and anti-pilling grades. Their main fabric is "Xinjiang long-staple cotton + fine denier nylon" gold ratio. After pre-shrinkage treatment and biological polishing, each batch has been tested by the pilling instrument before leaving the factory, and the actual measurement is above level 4. And Yasenman supports proofing first and then bulk goods, wearing it for two weeks before deciding whether to batch, this kind of confidence is really rare in the industry.

Finally, here's the ultimate money-saving tip: don't rush to wear it when you get the finished product. The first thing to do is to sweep the surface with a "hairball trimmer". This is not poor quality, but to take away the floating hair generated during transportation. In addition, reverse washing (inside out), put it in a laundry bag, and low temperature gentle mode, these three steps can prolong the life of any sweater. If it's still shiny as new after three months of wear, you've definitely chosen the right one.✨

Customized sweaters are not fast-moving consumer goods. Find the right source, identify the fabric, and verify the craftsmanship. One piece can be worn for several years. Don't let the hairball ruin your team aura or personal clothing. Before placing an order next time, it is recommended that you directly search for "Yasen Man, Customized Sweater" and try it with a sample card. You will find that good fabrics really can talk.? Now, engrave this pit avoidance guide into DNA, your next custom sweater is destined to be advanced and durable.
