An object of the present invention is to provide a method for efficiently manufacturing a protein crimped staple from protein filaments at a low cost. A manufacturing method for a protein crimped staple according to the present invention includes: a) preparing an artificial fibroin filament containing a modified fibroin; b) cutting the artificial fibroin filament to obtain an artificial fibroin staple; and c) performing crimping by bringing the artificial fibroin filament into contact with an aqueous medium to crimp the artificial fibroin filament before the cutting or bringing the artificial fibroin staple into contact with an aqueous medium to crimp the artificial fibroin staple after the cutting.

Nonwovens including a plurality of crimped continuous fibers (CCFs) that are physically entangled together, such by hydroentangling. Methods of forming a nonwoven including a plurality of physically entangled CCFs are also provided.

The device (1) comprises a first roller (3) rotatable about a first rotation axis (3A) and a second roller (5) rotatable about a second rotation axis (5A), parallel to the first rotation axis (3A). The two are in mutual contact and define between them a yarn passage (7) and at least of them is motorized. The device further comprises 5 guide members (9) defining a feed path of at least a yarn (F; F1, F2, F3, F4), associated with the yarn passage (7) between the first roller (3) and the second roller (5). The guide members (9; 13) are movable with respect to the rollers (3, 5) in a direction substantially parallel to the first rotation axis (3A) and to the second rotation axis (5A), so as to take the yarn path temporarily outside the mutual contact 10 area between the rollers.

Aspects herein are directed to using a space-treating process to apply functional finishes to a yarn and incorporating the treated yarn into a textile and/or a garment to impart engineered functional properties to the textile and/or garment.

Provided is a strand extending in the longitudinal direction, wherein the strand includes filaments of one type having a gradient-length effect through spiral rotational twists and an irregular fine texture through self-thermal shrinking. The filaments of the strand have natural coiling characteristics that are very similar to those of natural hair of black people, and these characteristics are caused by the facts that the filaments have 3-dimensional waveforms occurred due to many fine and irregular windings or projections and that the waveforms exhibit fractal structure features and a fine kinky texture.

Protein fiber having crimp property such that the protein fiber crimps in response to a stimulus is immersed in a solution of protein having a different composition from the protein. The protein having a different composition is infiltrated into the protein fiber and the protein fiber is made crimped.

A polytetrafluoroethylene textile and manufacturing method thereof is disclosed. a pretreatment process is performed on a plurality of polytetrafluoroethylene yarns. In the pretreatment process, a step of extending the polytetrafluoroethylene yarns are extended, the polytetrafluoroethylene yarns are knitted into a polytetrafluoroethylene fabric, the shape of the polytetrafluoroethylene fabric is fixed, and the polytetrafluoroethylene fabric are de-knitted into the polytetrafluoroethylene yarns with a plurality of knit-assisting parts. A second knitting process is performed to knit the polytetrafluoroethylene yarns and a plurality of artificial yarns together to obtain the polytetrafluoroethylene textile.
