A woven textile fabric that is lightweight, soft, smooth, supple and durable has a composition including a regenerated cellulosic fiber, cotton and an elastane fiber such as spandex. The fabric includes warp yarn and weft yarn, and the weft yarn is a core spun yarn made of an elastane fiber core surrounded by a sheath of blended regenerated cellulosic fiber and cotton. The fabric construction may range from about 44 ends/inch to about 300 ends/inch and from about 30 picks/inch to about 600 picks/inch. The warp count may range from 2 s count to 140 s count, and the weft count ranges from 2 s count to 170 s count. The fabric, which can be made using a series of innovative process steps, is particularly useful as a bed linen.

A woven sheet that is lightweight and breathable, while also being a durable, long-lasting type. The lightweight woven sheet comprises a dynamic grid construction that allows moisture vapor to escape while preserving durability of the sheet. The sheet includes a first section including a first type of weave having a first grid pattern and a second section including a second type of grid having a second grid pattern. The first weave is an open-weave, which makes the sheet breathable and lowers the overall weight of the sheet, while the second weave is a plain weave that provides durability to the overall sheet.

A pillowcase includes a top panel and an opposite bottom panel. The top panel has three sides that are joined with three sides of the bottom panel such that inner surfaces of the top and bottom panels that face one another define a cavity configured for disposal of a pillow. Fourth sides of the top and bottom panels are not joined with one another and define an opening that is in communication with the cavity. A power band extends across the opening. The power band includes a sheen.

The invention provides a thermal control combination yarn system including a first plurality of the yarns within the system including microdenier or almost microdenier hydrophobic yarns, such as, for example, polypropylene (PP) and a second plurality of the yarns including less hydrophobic ultra microfibers (UMF), wherein the first plurality of yarns is in direct contact with the second plurality of yarns. The yarn system can include from 97% yarns made of a microdenier or almost microdenier hydrophobic material and 3% yarns made of a less hydrophobic ultra microfibers (UMF) material to 97% yarns made of the less hydrophobic ultra microfibers material and 3% yarns made of a microdenier or almost microdenier hydrophobic material.

A three-layer circular knitted jacquard fabric includes a first layer having a yarn made from a first material. A second layer of the fabric includes a yarn made from a second material. A third layer of the fabric includes a yarn made from a third material. At least one of the materials includes ultra-high weight molecular polyethylene. The second layer is positioned between the first layer and the third layer such that the second layer provides loft between the first layer and the third layer.

Temperature management bedding systems for mattresses and quilt panels generally include a trilayer of active components including a phase change material applied to a top surface of a flexible substrate thereof, a fire retardant layer underlying the flexible substrate including hydrophilic rayon fibers treated with ammonium polyphosphate; and a vertically oriented fiber batting layer underlying the first retardant layer including an elastomeric binder. The temperature management bedding systems provide heat control and mass transfer of moisture from the bedding surface.

A method includes forming a multi-pick yarn package through winding multiple oriented yarns onto a spool. The multiple oriented yarns serve as weft yarns forming adjacent substantially parallel yarns wound together, and each of the multiple oriented yarns is formed through drawing each of multiple synthetic yarns from a corresponding supply package. The method also includes simultaneously inserting the weft yarns in a single pick insertion event of a pick insertion apparatus of a loom apparatus in which the simultaneously inserted weft yarns are to be conveyed through a set of warp yarns to produce an incremental length of a woven textile fabric.

A multi-filament three-dimensional knitted fabric and a system and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The multi-filament three-dimensional knitted fabric includes a surface layer structure, a bottom layer structure and a support structure. The support structure is disposed between the surface layer structure and the bottom layer structure, the support structure includes a plurality of first multi-filament yarns, each of the first multi-filament yarns connecting to the surface layer structure and the bottom layer structure, and each of the first multi-filament yarns having a specific denier and being composed of a plurality of fibers.

The invention relates to the light industry area, namely to material for production of the woven and knitted textiles, and can be used for the manual production of the carpets, runners, coverlets, blankets and other similar decorative objects. The object of this utility model consists in improvement of material for production of the woven and knitted textiles by way of the optimum combination of the material composition and texture (form) resulting in upgrading of its application characteristics, namely—getting softness, lightness, strength and elasticity in combination with the aesthetic and decorative properties. In addition, the diversification of products made of the applied material is present. Material for production of the woven and knitted textiles is composed of the tubular seamless knitted shell filled with a reinforcing filler, made of synthetic microfiber or of a mixture of synthetic and natural microfibers with a density of 0.010-0.030 g/cm.sup.3, and the shell is made of the cotton or wool added with a synthetic thread, at that the material diameter is not more than 8 cm, and the shell and the filler composition ratio are defined by the material functionality.

The invention relates generally to a method for combining multiple knit constructions in a single fabric using a double selection circular knitting machine. It is in particular directed of seamlessly combining in a single fabric an air circulating construction with a double-knit construction. It further provides a fabric obtained using the method of the present invention.
