What causes some fabrics to pill up? Or, more importantly, what should
I look for in a cotton fabric that will not do this.

My mother used to tell me that polycotton that was at least 60% cotton
wouldn't pill. Since I can't stand any poly at all -- it "suffocates"
me -- I have no recent experience to back this up.

Does this mean that it's the polyester that's causing the pilling and
something that is 100% cotton would be pill free?

I already ripped the tags out of these pants, so I don't know what the
fabric is.
