A process is described wherein pile yarn is woven with cotton weft and warp yarns to produce terry fabrics, such as towels. The fabric is then washed in warm water to dissolve the PVA fibers. The amount of fibers dissolved, depends upon the count of the yarn or yarns used. By dissolving the PVA fibers, a hollow air space is produced 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 towels are softer and bulkier than standard cotton towels. The present invention further relates to pile yarn in terry woven fabric (warp yarn), or weft yarn, in the case of flat fabrics.

The invention provides a velvet fabric and a method of making the fabric. The fabric includes a support formed by weft yarns and warp yarns, such that the weft yarns are inserted and interwoven with the warp yarns, and at least one filling yarn is anchored in the form of loops or bristles in the support. The support has two surfaces and the filling yarn emerges from at least one surface of the support. The warp yarns and/or the weft yarns of the support are at least partially formed of polyester at a low melting temperature.

Provided is a bathrobe which includes a terry fabric woven with a ground thread including a cotton yarn, a terry yarn formed of a core yarn including a nylon and polyester split type microfiber and a cover yarn covering the core yarn, and weft including a hollow yarn, and is light and has excellent heat retention.

A surface cleaning material is provided that includes a base structure including at least one base material. The surface cleaning material also includes a plurality of fibers woven into the base structure such that a first end, a second end, and a middle portion of each of the plurality of fibers form a W-shape with the first and second ends of each of the plurality of first fibers being positioned a distance from a surface of the base structure. A method of manufacturing the surface cleaning material is also provided.

A woven brushed elastic fabric includes a fabric blank and a plurality of yarn segments. The fabric blank is formed by interweaving a plurality of first yarns and composite yarns. Each composite yarn is composed of a second yarn and an elastic yarn. The second yarn is wound around the elastic yarn. The fabric blank has a first side, and a second side opposite to the first side and formed with a plurality of yarn loops. The yarn loops are formed by the interweaving of the first yarns and the composite yarns in a skip manner along a first direction or a second direction transverse to the first direction. The yarn segments are formed on the second side of the fabric blank by breaking at least some of the yarn loops.
