This can happen with wool. Try a wool-specific rinse aid or fabric softener designed for natural fibers. Ensure you are using cool water and not agitating the fabric excessively.

Ensure your sewing machine needle is sharp and appropriate for heavy fabrics. Try a slightly larger needle size (e.g., 90/14 or 100/16) and check that the thread is not frayed.

Some pilling is natural with wool, especially in high-friction areas. Use a fabric shaver carefully to remove pills. Proper care and minimal friction during wear can reduce pilling.

Use a finishing technique like a zig-zag stitch, serger, or French seams to prevent excessive fraying. As wool is a natural fiber, some fraying is expected.
