More textile terms, I'm afraid:
No attention to detail is overlooked, meaning that there is less spiralty and reduced pilling in the garments.
Thanks!

Pilling, Knötchenbildung
Ernst gives "Pilling" and "Knötchenbildung" for pilling. I could not find anything for spiralty, maybe Verdrehung (twisting) might work.
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "Many thanks - spiralty was not quite Verdrehung but led me on the right path - in fact less of it seems to mean "Formbeständigkeit", in case you're interested. A geat help, anyway - Cheers!"

Pillierung
Pilling happens to all knitwear and other garments.
The fabric pills (rubs) after contact with abrasive surfaces and
in the course of just wearing the garment, and then tiny "knots" appear on the fabric.

There is the adjective "spiralig", so why not "Spiralität"?
- Just a thought ....
Good luck!

Garndrehung, Pilling
Pilling is the term generally used. I found it in several glossaries (e.g the 1st URL below) , also described as "Knötchenbildung"I am not sure about "Garndrehung". You should check with your client what "spiralty" is exactly. Check out the 2nd URL. (They use "Pillbildung" by the way). HTH Eva
