Lion Brand® created Basic Stitch Anti-Pilling(TM) for all your favourite projects that see a lot of wear and tear. Even before it is spun into a premium 4-ply acrylic, the fiber is treated to resist pilling. And, when pills do form (due to frequent use and washing), no need to pick them off - just throw the item in the washer and the pills disappear. 
Remember to ALWAYS check tension/gauge before beginning your project.
