Does ring-spun cotton always pill?

Not always. Ring-spun cotton is softer and more loosely twisted than regular cotton, so it can pill more easily under friction. But with proper care—gentle washing, air drying, and avoiding abrasive contact—you can keep pilling to a minimum.

Can I fix pilling without damaging the tee?

Yes. Use a fabric shaver or a sweater stone to gently remove pills. Always work on a flat surface and use light pressure. Avoid scissors or razor blades, which can cut the fabric.

Is pilling a sign of bad quality?

Not necessarily. Pilling is a natural result of friction and fiber wear. Even high-quality ring-spun cotton can pill if it's washed harshly or rubbed against rough surfaces. It's more about care than quality.
