The present invention relates to a composite yarn, a preparation method thereof and an elastic fabric, wherein the composite yarn comprises a core yarn and an outer wrapping yarn, wherein the core yarn further comprising at least one piece of elastic filament, and wherein the outer wrapping yarn is made of short fiber, wherein the outer wrapping yarn is spirally wrapped on the core yarn, wherein drafting ratio of the core yarn is 1-1.5 times.

An end fray resistant textile sleeve includes an elongate wall having warp yarns extending generally parallel to a longitudinal central axis of the sleeve and fill yarns extending circumferentially about the sleeve. The warp yarns include at least two different types of yarns, with one of the types of warp yarns including activateable yarns and another of the types of yarns including non-activateable yarns. The activateable yarns can be provided as being activateable by at least one of heat, fluid and/or pressure, such that upon being activated, the yarns are caused to bond with the adjacent non-activateable warp yarns, as well as with the weft yarns with which they make contact. As such, the activateable yarns, upon being activated, become fixed with abutting warp yarns and weft yarns, thereby inhibiting end fray from resulting during a subsequent cold-cutting operation as well as in use.

A method for producing a luggage compartment covering for vehicles may provide for a textile fabric having at least one two-component yarn having a first component and a second component. The method may also provide for thermally treating the fabric such that the first component of the two-component yarn at least partially melts while the second component remains in a solid state of aggregation. A luggage compartment covering for vehicles made by the method is also provided.

The invention addresses the problem of providing a low-breathability woven fabric and a textile product that are excellent not only in downproofness but also in stretchability. As a means for resolution, a low-breathability woven fabric having a breathability of 1.0 cc/sec/cm.sup.2 or less is configured to include a stretch fiber.

A knitted or woven fabric with moisture management function is described that includes an inner layer having a first yarn that is semi-hydrophilic with a first moisture regain, and an outer layer having a second yarn that is hydrophilic with a second moisture regain greater than the first moisture regain of the first yarn. The fabric has a moisture regain gradient between the inner layer and the outer layer that acts to pull moisture through the inner layer in contact with the wearer’s skin and out through the outer layer. In one embodiment, the second yarn is a combination of a core bi-component yarn and at least one outer sheath yarn surrounding the core bi-component yarn.

The present subject matter discloses a fabric weaving method and apparatus therefor, wherein the method includes forming a fabric where the warp ends of the fabric is made of multifilament polyester yarns and the weft picks are made of cotton or regenerated cellulose fiber or linen fiber or a combination thereof. The woven textile fabric has 50-160 EPI of multifilament polyester yarns of denier within a range of 75D-200D with 7-250 filaments in each polyester yarn, wherein one or more yarns per dent is setup in the reed apparatus of the warp of the loom apparatus. Further, the woven textile fabric comprises of 50-91 picks per inch of cotton or regenerated cellulose fibre or linen fiber or a combination thereof and of 20-50 count (NE). Furthermore, the total cover factor of the woven textile fabric is 10-38, wherein the warp cover factor is 8-19 and the weft cover factor is 10-19.

A fabric-based item may include fabric formed from intertwined strands of material with embedded circuitry. The strands of material may be formed from dielectric materials such as polymers. The strands of material may be formed from joined segments of polymer strand material or other material. Each joined segment may contain a potentially distinct circuit. Some joined segments may include one or more conductive lines. The conductive lines may run parallel to each other along the length of the joined segments to form circuit interconnects. Conductive lines may be joined to contact pads on integrated circuits and other embedded components formed from semiconductor dies. Control circuitry formed from the integrated circuits embedded in strands of material in the fabric and other control circuitry may be used to control the circuitry embedded in the fabric.

A moisture transfer yarn blend and fabric containing a selected of engineered shaped, lobed, deep grooved, channeled, hollow, sheath-core, bi-component polymer silver fibers and bi-component polymer fibers, optionally blended with cylinder or round fibers or natural fibers or a combination. The engineered shaped, lobed, channeled and deep grooved polymer fibers have indentations along the longitudinal side of the fibers. The deep grooved fibers have four to eight deep indentations along the longitudinal side of the fibers and containing grooves in the deepest portion of the indentation.
