A cushion material 10 for hot pressing includes a cushion part 1. The cushion part 1 includes a woven fabric 5, in which a twisted yarn is used for at least one of warp 5a or weft 5b, and a polymer material 6 adhered to a surface of a fiber forming the woven fabric 5. The twisted yarn used for at least one of the warp 5a or the weft 5b of the woven fabric 5 is formed by twisting a plurality of texturized yarns made of glass fiber.

Provided is a multiple woven gauze fabric capable of controlling the degree of wrinkling according to use. A double woven gauze fabric is formed by stacking a front surface gauze structure A and a back surface gauze structure B. The front surface gauze structure A and the back surface gauze structure B are formed, and the front surface gauze structure A and the back surface gauze structure B are joined, as appropriate. The front surface gauze structure A is composed of a non-twist yarn, and the back surface gauze structure B is composed of a hollow yarn. That is, a gauze structure composed only of twisted yarn (solid yarn) is not included. The degree of wrinkling is controlled by considering the hollow rate of the hollow yarn.

A method of manufacturing multi-ply separable textured yarn, the method comprising, passing a multi-ply separable interlaced filament yarn through a texturizing unit to form a multi-ply separable draw textured yarn, wherein the multi-ply separable interlaced filament yarn is separable in to at least two separable interlaced filament yarn, wherein the interlacing of the filaments within each separable interlaced filament yarn is retained during further processing of the yarn to fabric and in the fabric.

A textile product (1) comprising individual elements (4) interconnected by a textile technique, characterized in that the interconnected individual elements (4) hold at least one decorative or functional element (2, 2, 2, 12, 12, 22) between each other, e.g. by braiding in or braiding around.

There are provided a towel cloth which has a bulky and fluffy texture, is less likely to undergo fluff dropping, and is excellent in water absorbency, and a manufacturing method thereof. For a towel cloth including a ground weave including a warp ground yarn and a weft ground yarn crossing each other therein, and a pile yarn locked to the ground weave, at least one of the warp ground yarn, the weft ground yarn, and the pile yarn is formed of a twisted union finished yarn, and the twisted union finished yarn includes a twisted union yarn including two or more rovings twisted in a primary twisting direction as a single yarn, one of the rovings having an even twist, and at least another of the rovings partially having a twist with irregular strand length and twisting angle, the twisted union yarn undergoing fiber opening and being puffy.

Methods for fabricating coiled polymer fibers and yarns (high-spring-index coiled fibers and yarns). Methods include inserting twist separately into individual fibers or yarns, plying the fibers or yarns by inserting plying twist, setting the ply structure without permanently binding together the fibers or yarns of different plies so that the ply structure is substantially stable against untwist when torsionally untethered, and then unwrapping the plied fibers or yarns so that a high-spring-index fiber or yarn can be obtained. In some embodiments, the unwrapped fibers or yarns are further set so that these are further stabilized. The methods can eliminate the need for a mandrel, and can be quickly applied for applications where high-spring-index thermally-driven artificial muscles are presently employed, such as for presently commercialized comfort-adjusting jackets.

There is provided a plain-weave fabric excellent in low air permeability and waterproofness. Further, there is provided a stent graft excellent in low water permeability mechanical properties and catheter storage capacity, including the plain-weave fabric as a graft substrate. A plain-weave fabric woven by interlacing weaving yarns in warp and weft, in which weaving yarns YA and YB arranged in the same direction have different crimp ratios A and B, respectively, a relationship thereof satisfies Formula 1, and the crimp ratio B is 4% or more, and the plain-weave fabric is preferably used for a stent graft; A?B?1.2.

An article of apparel is disclosed that includes zones with a textile having a structure that changes or is otherwise modified by a physical stimulus, such as the presence of water or a temperature change, to modify a property of the textile. The zones may be along a center back area and side areas of the apparel, and the textile may increase in air permeability when exposed to water. The zones may also be in an upper area of the torso and in a lower back area, and the textile may increase in texture when exposed to water. In some embodiments, slits are formed in the textile.
