Processes are provided for the manufacture of color effect face yarns for use in tufted goods. These color effect yarns may exhibit unique color effects and contain a lower overall denier, thereby allowing the production of tufted goods with a greater than normal tuft density per unit area. Consequently, this can result in finer color effects and/or sharper definition of color effects in the tufted goods and expands the design possibilities for such products.

Aspects herein are directed to using a space-treating process to apply functional finishes to a yarn and incorporating the treated yarn into a textile and/or a garment to impart engineered functional properties to the textile and/or garment.

A production apparatus and production method for colored spun yarn with fiber dyeing and mixing in a spinning process is provided. The production apparatus is a ring spinning machine. The ring spinning machine includes a front table board and a rear table board with a same structure. Each of the front table board and the rear table board is formed by a plurality of spindles with a same structure. Each spindle includes a drafting system. A roving feeding bell mouth is connected at the rear of the drafting system, and a splitting plate is arranged at the front of the drafting system. A dyeing system is arranged at the front of the splitting plate. A color fixing system is added at the front of the dyeing system. A bunching bell mouth device and a delivery roller pair are arranged at the front of the color fixing system.

A dyeing and welding process may be configured to convert a substrate into a welded substrate having at least some color imparted thereto via a dye and/or coloring agent by applying a process solvent having a dye and/or coloring agent therein to the substrate, wherein the process solvent interrupts one or more intermolecular force between one or more component in the substrate. The substrate may be configured as a natural fiber, such as cellulose, hemicelluloses, and silk. The process solvent may include a binder, such as dissolved biopolymer (e.g., cellulose). After application of a process solvent comprised of a dye and/or coloring agent, the substrate may be exposed to a second application of a process solvent comprised of a binder, which second application may occur before or after a process temperature/pressure zone, process solvent recovery zone, and/or drying zone.

Disclosed is a method of producing a variable-color textile, the method comprising: providing a plurality of filaments into a commercial textile-production machine, the plurality filaments having at least a first color and a second color; and twisting at least one of the plurality of filaments to display a first color on a first side of a fabric surface and a second color on an opposite side of the fabric surface.

A method and system for forming protective composite yarns and fabrics having selected performance characteristics including cut resistance and/or fire/heat resistance, while also providing enhanced comfort and aesthetic attributes. The yarn will include fibers of a first type introduced from a first roving to a first set of drafting rollers of a spinning frame, and one or more additional types of fibers introduced from one or more additional rovings additional sets of drafting rollers of the spinning frame in an alternating fashion with the fibers of the first type. The fibers of the first type and the fibers of the additional type are substantially overlapped and successively attached and detached to form the composite yarn having attributes of the first fibers, such as increased comfort, moisture-wicking and an ability to be dyed, colored or printed, combined with technical properties of the fibers of the one or more additional types of fibers, such as cut, abrasion and/or fire/heat resistance, static dissipation, and other performance characteristics, with bands or splashes of color from such fibers incorporated therein. Fashionable or aesthetically appearing performance fabrics can be formed from the composite yarn with the desired performance and comfort characteristics.

The invention relates to the technical field of textile printing and dyeing, in particular to a method for preparing yarn with cloud dyeing effect; dyes with more than one color are mixed, and a small amount of dispersing agent is added, so that the pigment is not completely uniformly mixed, and the yarn obtained by extrusion molding of the pigment mixed spinning raw material has a randomly distributed multi-color cloud dyeing effect, and the cloud dyeing yarn with multi-color cloud dyeing effect is prepared, and compared with the cloth blank prepared by the traditional single-color yarn, the prepared cloth blank has a more three-dimensional pattern effect.

The present invention provides a colored gold-wrapped thread and a method for making a gold-plated embroidery by using the same, thereby solving the technical problem of single color of a gold-plated embroidery. The method for making a gold-plated embroidery includes preparing embroidery threads, preparing colored gold-wrapped threads and colored gold fixing threads in a mode of one-to-one correspondence of the same color, preparing an embroidery backing material, arranging a to-be-embroidered pattern on the embroidery backing material, preparing embroidery tools, arranging the embroidery backing material on a reel, and embroidering a pattern. The colored gold-wrapped thread includes a thread skin and a wrapped core, where the thread skin is made of a colored glittering silk material having metal luster, and the wrapped core is made of rayon having no twisting strength or a soft and smooth cotton thread.

A knit fabric is created using on a flatbed knitting machine to create a whole garment having an inner surface and an outer surface. The knit fabric includes a support matrix comprised of base yarns with reflective yarns supported on the support matrix. The knit fabric comprises a jacquard knit structure formed from the base yarns and the reflective yarns, wherein elongate loops of the reflective yarns are outwardly exposed from the outer surface of the knit fabric. The inner surface of the knit fabric includes outwardly exposed floats of the reflective yarns.

Aspects herein are directed to using a space-treating process to apply functional finishes to a yarn and incorporating the treated yarn into a textile and/or a garment to impart engineered functional properties to the textile and/or garment.
