Some flannel pills and some is more pill free, the price per yard is more too...
I find that it can pill more depending on what you are washing along with it. The agitation is what rubs the fabrics together and can cause pilling, maybe wash it alone with nothing else. Try letting it soak, agitate for a minute or so and then drain the water and spin. Do the same for the rinse cycle. Put it in the dryer on the highest heat setting so it isn't tumbling for as long either. I hope this helps you :D:D:D
