Why does it seem like some of my sweaters have a soft and loose "lint layer" on the inside? (lemm.ee)

It's always particularly nice and soft the first time you put it on, but the one I got most recently is so bad it leaves a thin but thorough coat of black fur on my arms when I take it off. What's the production methods used when making sweaters like this?

I think he OP is specifically talking about a certaing kind of sweatshirt that, instead of being woven on the inside, has loose threads. It's not even like a Teddy-fabric. The fabric is just non-woven and sheds microfibers like crazy the first few uses. But after a few washes that soft cushy inside is knotted and uncomfortable.
