\nThe cause of such irregularity is\u00a0linked to warp threads sticking out\u00a0as a consequence of washing and\u00a0\u00a0drying processes. Most likely, the\u00a0cause of such a defect is due to insufficient\u00a0finishing of the fabric during\u00a0the production stage.

\nstabilized, kept the reactivity and\u00a0modified their characteristics the\u00a0moment in which the conditions
\nchanged, e.g. temperature and humidity.<\/p>\n\n

The defect consists of small elastane\u00a0threads sticking out in the\u00a0area of seams.
\nThe problem existed before the\u00a0washing stage even if not as intense\u00a0and almost invisible: ordinary
\ncare operations have simply\u00a0increased its intensity and made it\u00a0more visible.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/PICCOLA-GUIDA-OTTOBRE-2017-004-1024x510.jpg\")
The defect consists of an opening\u00a0of the seam, that is warp\u00a0threads passing over the weft\u00a0(or vice versa) with a consequent\u00a0\u201copening\u201d of yarns.
\nThe problem had already been\u00a0there before the product was\u00a0tailored: the dynamometric lab\u00a0analysis proved it. Generally,\u00a0as far as this type of a product\u00a0goes,\u00a0if it undergoes a seam slippage\u00a0test, a maximum accepted\u00a0opening is 6 mm. In case of the\u00a0tested fabric, it was actually 13\u00a0mm.
\nAlso in this case, the defect was\u00a0accentuated after the mechanical\u00a0stress of the washing stage.<\/p>\n\n
\nThe evaluation of pilling degree is\u00a0done through a scale of values that\u00a0goes from 1, the worst and lowest value\u00a0(extremely visible pilling), to 5 (no\u00a0pilling) including the intermediate degree\u00a0evaluation.

While evaluating the pilling degree of\u00a0the fabric not yet tailored, the index\u00a0turns out to be 3\/4: the fabric does\u00a0not show any particular pilling problems\u00a0at the beginning. Nevertheless,\u00a0if it undergoes repetitive abrasion, loose\u00a0fibres begin to push out from the\u00a0surface of the cloth, which may look\u00a0rather\u00a0 unaesthetically.
\nThe observations confirm that the finished,\u00a0contested garment shows this\u00a0particular and unaesthetically looking\u00a0effect mainly in the upper area and\u00a0in the waist area where it actually is\u00a0more exposed to rubbing and abrasion\u00a0( e.g. by a belt) while being worn.<\/p>\n\n
\nbase characteristics and finishing\u00a0stage that made it inadequate\u00a0to manufacture of wearing apparel.
\nFrom the analytical point of view, in\u00a0order to correctly identify what caused\u00a0the defects, it is crucial to always\u00a0compare the performance of\u00a0the fabric after wearing with the fabric\u00a0that has still not been finished\u00a0as a ready-to-wear product. \u2022<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.staging.detergo.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/AAAAAAAAAAAAAADocumento2-001.jpg\")
