Improving pilling resistance of fabrics using cellulose acetate staple fibers

A method of making an anti-pilling fabric is provided. In one case, the method includes (a) blending cellulose acetate (CA) staple fibers with non-CA staple fibers to form a blended yarn comprising 20 wt% to 80 wt% CA staple fibers, and (b) forming an anti-pilling fabric comprising the blended yarn. In another case, the method includes (a) providing a first yarn comprising at least 20 wt% CA staple fibers, and (b) forming an anti-pilling fabric comprising the first yarn and a second yarn comprising non-CA staple fibers. The CA staple fibers desirably have (i) a circular or closed C-shaped cross-sectional shape, (ii) a cut length of 20 to 80 mm, (iii) a curl frequency of 4 to 24 curls per inch (CPI), and (iv) a denier per filament (DPF) of 0.5 to 4.0. The anti-pilling fabric is characterized by having a higher anti-pilling level than a fabric made of staple fibers without CA. 提供了一种制造抗起球织物的方法。在一种情况下，该方法包括(a)将醋酸纤维素(CA)短纤维与非CA短纤维混纺，以形成包含20wt％-80wt％CA短纤维的混纺纱线，以及(b)形成包含混纺纱线的抗起球织物。在另一种情况下，该方法包括(a)提供包含至少20wt％CA短纤维的第一
