Even before it is spun into a premium 4-ply acrylic, the fiber is treated to resist pilling. And, when pills do form (due to frequent use and washing), no need to pick them off - just throw the item in the washer and the pills disappear. But that’s not the only great thing about Lion Brand's Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling. It is super soft and has great stitch definition.
