How to Prevent Pilling on Sweatshirts, Sweatpants, and Your Fall Favorites
There’s nothing quite like the first cool day when you can finally pull your favorite sweatshirt out of the closet.
You remember it being soft, cozy, and practically made for fall. Then you put it on and notice something: tiny little fuzz balls have appeared across the sleeves, sides, or wherever the fabric tends to rub.
Yep. Pilling.
It can make a relatively new sweatshirt or pair of sweatpants look worn long before you’re ready to replace it. Fortunately, a few changes to your laundry routine can help.
If you’ve been wondering how to prevent pilling, it starts with understanding why it happens—and how you wash and dry your fall favorites can make a difference.
