This versatile fiber can produce sweaters with a soft, lush cashmere-like feel or a crisp, worsted hand. And S-63 come in a wide spectrum of solid colors, heathers and marls. Only garments that pass Solutia's tough tests for washability, shape retention, and shrinkage resistance can wear the Pil-Trol tag. But above all, they must prove to be substantially more pill-resistant than sweaters made with conventional yarns. With the wear and tear and countless washings a school sweater undergoes, pilling can ruin its good looks in no time at all.
Nothing kills a sweater's fresh good looks faster than excessive pilling.
Pilling can make even the finest sweater look worn and shabby. But sweaters made with Pil-Trol fiber resist pilling, wash after wash.
