SILK-LIKE WOVEN GARMENT CONTAINING OR CONSISTING OF LYOCELL FILAMENTS

摘要

Silk woven fabrics are known and well known for their feel. However, the disadvantages of silk include its price, its poor washability, and low resistance to certain chemical treatments. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a silk-like woven fabric that overcomes these problems. According to the present invention, this problem is solved by providing a silk-like woven fabric (2) made from a weft yarn (4) and a warp yarn (6), wherein one of the weft yarns (4) and the warp yarns (6) is At least one contains or consists of lyocell filaments (8). In particular, twisted lyocell filament yarns are used, and the obtained material has a silk-like feel and physical properties equal to or even surpassing those of silk. Also, lyocell filament yarns 4 and 6 may have higher twist than silk yarns, other cellulosic yarns, or synthetic yarns.
