A fabric includes an inner textile layer, an outer textile layer, and a middle textile layer. The inner textile layer includes a plurality of microfiber yarns and a plurality of elastic fiber yarns. The outer textile layer includes a plurality of composite yams. The middle textile layer is between the inner textile layer and the outer textile layer and has a plurality of wave-like polyester fiber yarns. Further, the outer textile layer includes a first weaving region and a second weaving region. The content of the composite yarns in the first weaving region is greater than the content of the composite yarns in the second weaving region.

The invention addresses the problem of providing a cloth and a textile product, which are extremely excellent in stretchability and sweat-absorbing and quick-drying properties and further have a natural material-like texture and appearance. As a means for resolution, for example, a cloth is obtained using a composite yarn containing a crimped yarn and a stretch fiber.

A method of manufacturing an elastic fabric including a latent crimped yarn according to an embodiment includes forming a raw fabric by knitting the latent crimped yarn and a polyester yarn, reducing the raw fabric, removing oil from the raw fabric, removing wrinkles of the raw fabric, followed by drying, dyeing the raw fabric, and removing wrinkles of the raw fabric, followed by drying to form the elastic fabric. The method can manufacture a highly elastic fabric having excellent recovery and color fastness to washing.

The present disclosure provides a knitting apparatus, including: a frame; a primary yarn guide mounted on the frame; a primary yarn control rod connected to the primary yarn guide; a secondary yarn guide mounted on the frame; a secondary yarn control rod connected to the secondary yarn guide; a needle plate provided at lower ends of the primary yarn guide and the secondary yarn guide; a control cam separately drives the primary yarn control rod to control the primary yarn guide to move, and drives the secondary yarn control rod to control the secondary yarn guide to move; a tension spring connected to the control cam; and an electromagnet. A magnetic force of the electromagnet drives the tension spring to extend and retract, and further drives the control cam to rotate up and down.

A composite yarn (100) comprising at least two single elastic filaments (101) and a plurality of inelastic elements (103), wherein said inelastic elements (103) comprise a plurality of inelastic filaments and/or a bundle of inelastic filaments, and said single elastic filaments (101) and said inelastic filaments (103) are connected to each other by intermingling.

The invention provides a filament, which is a fine filament cut and formed from a thermoplastic membrane material, and is made by thermal stretching and thermal shaping. Through the invention, the filament formed by cutting can have excellent physical properties including: high strength, high elastic recovery rate, low stretch elasticity, low elongation rate, improved environmental tolerance, and increased service life, so that the filament formed by cutting has a wider application range and can be directly used in textiles. The invention is capable of producing filaments thinner than those obtained by cutting method alone. In addition, when a surface of the filament is coated with a functional coating layer, the filament of the invention will not lose the function of the coating layer.

Provided are a stretchable wire tape for a textile that can maintain high levels in all of stretchability, electrical conductivity, durability, an insulating property, and design and can also have a reduced production cost, wearable devices, and a method for producing textiles having wires. The stretchable wire tape for the textile includes a stretchable electrically conductive wire, and stretchable insulating films each including a first face and a second face opposite to the first face, the stretchable insulating films being bonded to opposite sides of the stretchable electrically conductive wire on their first faces. Since the stretchable insulating films are bonded to the opposite sides of the stretchable electrically conductive wire via bonding layers, durability and an insulating property can be secured while stretchability and electrical conductivity of the electrically conductive wire can be maintained, and design can also be improved.

Disclosed herein are self-powered and multi-modal sensing wearables. The smart wearables can comprise mechano-luminescence-optoelectronic materials, which can be used for self-powered sensing and energy harvesting.
