The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for whiteness measurement and/or staining control of filaments.

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 having particularly good translucent properties with regard to UVA and UVB radiation, in particular for use in garments for the sport and leisure sector, with the transparency being reduced at the same time. The fabric comprises a first yarn made of cellulose-based fiber or regenerated fiber, and a second yarn made of polymer fiber. The proportion by weight of the first and second yarns is at least 80% by weight. The wale density is in the range from 10 to 30 per cm and the course density is in the range from 15 to 33 per cm. The second yarn has a fineness in the range from 45 to 300 dtex and the first yarn has a fineness in the range from 150 to 300 dtex. The grammage of the fabric is between 70 and 150 g/m{circumflex over ( )}2.

The present invention relates to a fabric containing a modacrylic fiber A and a cellulosic fiber, wherein the modacrylic fiber A contains an infrared absorber inside the fiber, and the fabric is dyed with at least a yellow cationic dye, a yellow reactive dye, and a yellow disperse dye. The fabric can be produced by dyeing a fabric containing a modacrylic fiber A and a cellulosic fiber with a cationic dye, a reactive dye, and a disperse dye to exhibit a fluorescent yellow color. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a fabric with excellent arc resistance and visibility, a method for producing the same, and a clothing item using the same.

The present invention provides recycled cellulose-based fibers dimensionally stabilized by the reduction of shrinkage after washing in water or the like. The recycled cellulose fibers have an adsorbate on a surface thereof, in which the adsorbate contains cellulose nanofibers.

It is described a knitted/woven fabric with moisture management function comprising a first fabric layer having a first yarn and a second yarn knitted together to form a first layer being semi-hydrophilic or hydrophobic (comprising of lower moisture regain fibers), a second fabric layer comprising a third yarn and a fourth yarn knitted together to form the second fabric layer, the second fabric layer being fully hydrophilic (comprising of higher moisture regain fibers), wherein the first fabric layer has a moisture regain lower than the moisture regain of the second fabric layer providing a hydrophilic gradient between the first fabric layer and the second fabric layer of the knitted fabric pushing moisture through the first fabric layer in contact with the wearer's skin and out through the second fabric layer.
