What is Anti-Pilling Acrylic?
Acrylic fiber is widely used for textiles of all kinds: clothing, upholstery, carpets, and of course yarn. Acrylic is strong, lightweight, warm, soft, and resilient making it the yarn of choice for many.
But acrylic has a tendency to form pills – those hard little balls of tangled fibers on the surface of a fabric that make your clothes look worn way too soon. The same fine surface fibers that give the fabric its soft feel clump together and become enmeshed. Pilling is most likely in the areas of a garment that are subject to friction, like sleeve cuffs or under the arms.
Anti-pilling acrylic is a fiber preparation available in the US exclusively through Premier® Yarns. This fiber is specially formulated to resist pilling over time. If and when pills do form, they are removed through the simple process of machine washing your sweater or other project. No picking, no shaving - just toss it in the wash! Sweaters and blankets made with anti-pilling acrylic come out of the laundry looking fresh and new, time after time.
- Premier’s Anti-Pilling Acrylic fiber has been scientifically tested to last wash after wash!

United StatesGreat website. Great service. Great yarn.
United StatesLove this yarn! The texture is soft and smooth and very easy to work with, especially for fairly new crocheter. And the color (Dove) gives a true "heather" effect.
United StatesArrived fast, the yarn was so smooth didnt have any knots or defective part. Project finished already
United StatesAll I can say it I LOVe IT
United StatesThe anti-piling yarn is approved by organizations to which I donate for preemies and cancer patients. I tried it, I like it. The yarn is soft enough for sensitive needs and soft on the maker’s hands. It does not split and the skein unwinds easily from the center as you work.
