A method of manufacturing a wearable material made from interweaving a primary yarn of recycled sheets of plasticized material and a water-proof companion yarn. The companion yarn may be fleece, micro-fleece made from polyester, acrylic or nylon, or alpaca wool. The wearable material may be rendered into articles of fashionable clothing that can provide protection from dirt and stains, as well as protective garments for medical and industrial settings.

Woven articles coupled with objects and methods of making the same are described herein. Aspects of the disclosure are directed, in particular, to hand knotted rugs coupled with decorative objects,

Embodiments of the present invention relate to flame resistant fabrics that provide protection against molten metal splash but that have improved comfort at a lower cost by predominantly locating the protective molten metal shedding fibers on the front face of the fabric. Concentrating the protective fibers predominantly on the front face of the fabric still provides good protection against molten metal adherence and allows for more comfortable (and less expensive) fibers to be used on the back face of the fabric positioned next to the wearer. In this way, overall protection of the fabric is maintained while improving comfort. Embodiments of such fabrics may also achieve NFPA 70E PPE Category 2 protection (?8 cal/cm.sup.2 arc rating whether ATPV or EBT).

A multilayer structured spun yarn 20 includes core component fibers 21 and sheath component fibers 24, wherein the sheath component fibers 24 include inner layer fibers 22 and outer layer fibers 23. The inner layer fibers 22 of the sheath component fibers 24 are untwisted, and entirely bundled by the outer layer fibers 23 wound therearound in one direction. The core component fibers 21 are an elastic multifilament yarn. The sheath component fibers 24 are blended fibers containing animal hair fibers and short fibers other than animal hair fibers, and a blending proportion of the animal hair fibers is 5 to 50 mass % with respect to 100 mass % of the multilayer structured spun yarn 20. Accordingly, the present invention provides a multilayer structured spun yarn in which the yarn structure and the animal hair fiber blending proportion are optimized and, when the yarn is formed into a fabric, the abrasion resistance, the weft elasticity, and the anti-pilling properties are improved, a method for producing the same, a fabric, and clothing.

A multilayer structured spun yarn (20) includes core component fibers (21) and sheath component fibers (24). The core component fibers (21) are a multifilament yarn. The sheath component fibers (24) include inner layer fibers (22) and outer layer fibers (23). The inner layer fibers (22) are untwisted and entirely bundled by the outer layer fibers (23) wound therearound in one direction. The sheath component fibers (24) are a blend of short fibers A with an average fiber length of 10 to 25 mm and short fibers B with an average fiber length of longer than 25 mm and 51 mm or shorter. The multifilament yarn of the core component fibers serves as a connecting yarn. The blending proportion of the short fibers A is preferably 0.1 to 20 mass % with respect to 100 mass % of the multilayer structured spun yarn (20). Accordingly, the present invention provides a multilayer structured spun yarn whose yarn properties and properties when the yarn is formed into a fabric are made comparable to those of conventional products by optimizing the yarn structure even when fibers with a short fiber length are contained, a method for producing the same, a fabric, and clothing.

Compositions and methods are provided for recombinant protein fiber yarns engineered to have desirable properties along with textiles made using such yarns. Recombinant protein fibers (RPFs) whose properties can be influenced by their composition, structure and processing to obtain improved combinations of mechanical properties, chemical properties, and antimicrobial properties for a given application are presented, along with methods of producing those fibers. The present disclosure also presents filament yarns, spun yarns, and blended yarns formed using these fibers that can be used to manufacture textiles suitable for different applications. Additionally, the combinations of RPFs with certain properties, and yarns and textiles produced from those yarns with certain structures yield yarns and textiles with certain properties designed for various applications.
