That's what is called lint. Basically, the fibers from the threads come loose from use and protrude out of the fabric. Then during washing (from all the whirling and rubbing against other clothing), they form balls of lint. Also common in woolen coats, etc. This won't happen in synthetic fibers such as nylon because there the threads are made of thicker long single fibers rather than cotton threads, which is basically a spun bundle of fine short cotton fibers.
