▲ Why do knitwear peel off?
Knit garments are peeled off during rubbing or scrubbing while wearing them. That is, the loosely adhered fibers are pulled out due to friction, creating a small fiber mass called "peel", which is attached to the clothes by the fibers that support it. In other words, peeling refers to the condition that the fibers loosened from the yarn are attached to the clothes by the bundle, which occurs frequently in the parts of the sleeves, sides, abdomen, and armpits, which are frequently moved or frictioned. If the clothes are peeled, remove them with a lint remover or cut them with scissors.
▲ Factors affecting peeling
▽ Types of fabrics: natural phenomenon for all fabrics to peel off, regardless of minimal differences between natural and synthetic fabrics. But peelings of synthetic fabrics do not fall off easily, creating multiple fuzzes whereas peelings of wool clothing fall off easily.
▽ Thickness of fabric – easy to develop peelings as fabrics are thinner and softer
▽ Length of fabric – as length of fabric is shorter, it is easy for fiber to fall out from clothing, thereby developing a lot of peelings.
▽ Entanglement of fiber – more entanglement, difficult for fiber to fall out, therefore developing less peelings. More peelings, worse feeling of clothings, however.
