see bark stripping
A tangled ball of fibers that appears on the surface of a fabric, as a result of wear, abrasion, or continued friction or rubbing on the surface of the fabric.
A condition, often caused by heavy use, in which fibers from different tufts of carpet become entangled in one another forming hard fiber masses or `pills`. These pills can be cut off with scissors.
Unsightly balling of fibres on fabric surface due to friction worse on inferior fabrics.
