HYGRO TERRY TOWELS, BED LINEN AND RUGS/CARPETS BY INCORPORATING 'HYGRO' YARN MADE BY USING WOOL FIBERS

摘要

A novel textile material particularly a hygro fabric comprising of the alkali soluble wool fiber either blended or as core yarn is disclosed herein, wherein dissolution of the wool fibers results in a hollow air space throughout the pile yarn, corresponding to an increase in the air space in the pile yarn. By increasing the air space in the pile yarn, the resulting fabrics are softer and bulkier than standard fabrics. The present invention further relates to pile yarn in terry woven fabric (warp yarn), or weft yarn, in the case of flat fabrics or loop yarn in case of rugs/carpet.
