Silk-like woven garments containing or consisting of lyocell filaments

摘要

Silk woven fabrics are known and famous for their texture. However, the disadvantages of silk are their price, their poor washability, and their low resistance to the treatment of certain chemicals. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a silk-like woven fabric that overcomes this problem. According to the invention, this problem is solved by providing a silk-like woven fabric 2 made from weft yarn 4 and warp yarn 6, wherein of the weft yarn 4 and warp yarn 6 At least one contains or consists of lyocell filaments 8. In particular, twisted lyocell filament yarns are used, and the resulting material has a texture similar to silk and physical properties identical to or even surpassing silk. In addition, lyocell filament yarns 4, 6 may have higher twist than silk yarns, other cellulose yarns, or synthetic yarns.
