Abstract:
A novel knitted or woven fabric manufactured using at least one solution dyed or pigmented yarn, preferably polypropylene, which will not accept any type dye normally used to dye knitted or woven fabrics, and at least one yarn that will accept at least one dye normally used to dye knitted or woven fabrics. The fabric with this combination of yarns is dyed, and only the last mentioned yarn accepts the dye. Novel and pleasing effects can be achieved.
Abstract:
A textile yarn consisting of a blend lightweight olefin fibers that has a specific gravity of .91 to 1.0 blended with cotton fibers that have a specific gravity of more that 1.0 made using commercially available cotton spinning systems, and the textile articles manufactured using said yarn. This invention takes advantage of the fact that during the spinning process, centrifugal force slings most of the heavier cotton fiber to the outside while the lighter weight olefin remains mostly in the core of the yarn thus formed. The system is especially useful when using cotton open end or air jet spinning systems. Novel fabrics can be made from the new yarns.
