Pilling occurs when the fibers in the fabric rub against each other or other surfaces, causing small balls or pills to form on the surface of the fabric. This is a common issue with many natural fibers, including cashmere.

However, the extent to which cashmere pills can vary depending on several factors, including the quality of the cashmere, how it's woven or knitted, and how it's cared for. Higher-quality cashmere, which uses longer and finer fibers, is less prone to pilling than lower-quality cashmere. Additionally, proper care, such as gentle hand washing and avoiding friction, can help reduce pilling.
