A composite yarn spun of separate fibers may include a soybean fiber; a cellulose fiber with incorporated organic seaweed; and a Ramie fiber. A knitted fabric composition may include yarns as defined above.

A textile product embodying a method of fabrication using banana and/or raffia fiber as the weft is provided. The banana and/or raffia fibers provide a softness and capability of being threaded for facilitating interweaving about the warp, while also providing the tensile strength yet flexibility to weave durable textile products on a handloom, all while being non-toxic for the environment.

A composite yarn spun of separate fibers may include a soybean fiber; a cellulose fiber with incorporated organic seaweed; and a Ramie fiber. A knitted fabric composition may include yarns as defined above.

Provided is a fiber composite structure including a plurality of twisted fiber bundles, wherein each of the fiber bundles includes a plurality of fiber strands, an adhesive coated on the fiber strands, and a functional particle interposed between the fiber strands. The functional particle includes a material different from that of the fiber strands. The adhesive includes polydopamine.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for producing a nonwoven fabric, the method comprising the steps of providing fibres comprising 10-100 wt-% of bast fibres, the bast fibres having at least one angle of at least 20, and the bast fibres having an average fibre length of 10-60 mm; carding the fibres and forming a web of fibres on a wire support; hydroentangling the formed web by using at least a first and a second hydroentangling unit, wherein a hydroentanglement energy in the first hydroentangling unit is lower than the hydroentanglement energy in the second hydroentangling unit; dewatering the hydroentangled web; and drying the dewatered web at a temperature of 105-125 C.
