less pilling Explanation: Pilling is that nasty habit of a pretty sweater to make little (approx.) pin-head sized tangled balls on its surface. A razor carefully applied or an electric clothes shaver will remove them. The reference uses less pilling in the way people ordinarily talk about it, and appropriate for marketing: "...wear better with less pilling, making it ideal for socks, mittens, coats, sweaters..."
