Methods for processing denim are provided. An initial fabric is abraded by passing the initial fabric through an abrader at a first predetermined speed, thereby obtaining a pre-washed fabric with an abraded texture. The abrader comprises one or more sanding boards, where each respective sanding board has a respective diamond surface that contacts the initial fabric while spinning about a respective axis at the respective center of the respective sanding board during the abrading. The pre-washed fabric is then washed with an ozone composition, thereby obtaining an ozone washed fabric.

This invention relates to a fabric consisting of at least a first yarn containing cellulosic fibers modified by a cationic modifier and a second yarn containing cellulosic fibers not modified by a cationic modifier, and to the use of this fabric in order to obtain a denim appearance.

A towel product may comprise a gauze layer and a pile layer. The gauze layer may comprise multiple-wound yarns serving as warp yarn and weft yarn, the multiple-wound yarns each comprising cotton yarn and regenerated cellulose yarn manufactured without causing substitution of hydroxy groups that are twisted together. The pile layer may comprise pile disposed on at least an exterior surface. The pile layer may be woven from cotton yarn. The gauze layer and the pile layer may be coupled such that entanglement of gauze layer warp yarn and pile layer ground weft yarn occurs with a prescribed period. Cotton yarn of multiple-wound yarn may be single-ply yarn. Regenerated cellulose yarn of multiple-wound yarn may be two-ply yarn. Multiple-wound yarn may contain cotton yarn in an amount that is 30 mass % to 70 mass %, and may contain regenerated cellulose yarn in an amount that is 70 mass % to 30 mass %.
