[0041] FIG. 2 General view of the material for production of the woven and knitted products (photo).

[0042] FIG. 3 The product—a coverlet made of the applied material (photo).

[0043] FIG. 4 The product—a blanket made of the applied material (photo).

EXAMPLE 1

[0044] The material for production of the woven and knitted products was been developed of two components (see FIG. 1, 2): a shell (1) and a filler (2). The shell was manufactured at the own production capacities using the circle-wise knitting with two fibers—the cotton and polyamide-elastane one using the technique for obtaining the knitted fabric. The filler—a siliconized holofiber—was stripped of the desired width, for example, 5 cm, and the filler density is of 0.015 g/cm.sup.3.

[0045] From the received material using the hand knitting technique a coverlet was made (FIG. 3) which main advantage consists in its lightness, elasticity, softness and strength. Also the product is characterized by its aesthetic aspect and ornamentality. The product is easy to wash and is hypoallergenic.

EXAMPLE 2

[0046] Material for production of the woven and knitted textiles was been developed of two components (see FIG. 1, 2): a shell (1) and a filler (2). The shell was manufactured at the own production capacities using the circle-wise knitting with two fibers—the woolen and polyester fibers with technique for obtaining the knitted fabric. The filler—a Sherstepon (a mixture of the natural and synthetic microfibers) was stripped of the desired width, 7 cm, the filler density is of 0.025 g/cm.sup.3. From the received material using the hand knitting technique was made a blanket (FIG. 4), which main advantage consists in its lightness, elasticity, softness and strength. Also the product is characterized by its aesthetic appearance and ornamentality. The product is easy to clean and is hypoallergenic. Thus, the applied material has the advantages in comparison with the actually known materials of similar use, namely it has a complex of the textiles' consumer properties made of it using the vowing or hand knitting, specifically: lightness, elasticity, softness and strength. The specified complex of properties harmonizes with the aesthetic and decorative aspect of the made products.
