In an exemplary aspect, the warp spun yarn may further include cotton spun yarn in a range of 0-80% with the remaining being bamboo spun yarn as mentioned above.

(16) Warp spun yarn refers to the yarn used in the warp direction of a woven fabric. The warp direction runs longitudinally along the length of the fabric, parallel to the selvage. warp spun yarns are typically stronger and more durable than weft yarns because they withstand the tension and stress applied during the weaving process. These yarns are often made from materials such as cotton, bamboo, or a blend of fibers to achieve the desired properties, such as strength, elasticity, and resistance to abrasion. The yarn count of warp spun yarn may vary depending on the specific requirements of the fabric being produced, as described in the present disclosure.

(17) The warp spun yarns may be composed of 100% bamboo spun yarn or a blend of bamboo and cotton spun yarns. In some embodiments, the warp spun yarn comprises 100% bamboo spun yarn. In an exemplary embodiment, the warp spun yarn comprises 80% bamboo spun yarn and 20% cotton spun yarn. In another alternate embodiment, the warp spun yarn comprises 20% bamboo spun yarn and 80% cotton spun yarn.

(19) In some embodiments, the warp spun yarn used in the woven textile fabric is sourced from a blend of bamboo fibers and cotton fibers (among other fiber materials). Bamboo fibers are extracted through mechanical or chemical processes, cleaned, and combed, while cotton fibers undergo ginning and carding. These fibers are then blended in specific proportions and spun into yarn using techniques like ring spinning or open-end spinning to achieve the desired yarn count and properties. The spun yarn undergoes finishing processes such as singeing, mercerizing, and dyeing to enhance its strength, luster, and color, ensuring it meets the quality standards required.

(20) In an aspect, bamboo-based spun yarn has good anti-microbial property by its nature and the fiber is also hydroscopic, hypoallergenic and a natural deodorize. Other materials may also be blended into the bamboo-based spun yarn to enhance properties of the bamboo-based spun yarn further. For instance, blending with cotton may improve the fabric's softness and breathability, while incorporating hemp may increase its tensile strength and durability. Adding silk may provide a luxurious feel and sheen, and wool may contribute to better insulation and warmth. Synthetic fibers like nylon or acrylic may enhance elasticity and resilience, making the fabric more versatile for various applications. By combining these materials, the resulting fabric may benefit from a synergistic effect, leveraging the unique advantages of each component to create a superior woven textile fabric.

Additionally, the yarn count may be selected to optimize the fabric's performance characteristics, such as breathability, wrinkle resistance, and pilling tendency, ensuring the final product meets specific quality standards and consumer expectations.

(26) Any conventional recycled multifilament textured polyester yarn may be used to serve its intended purpose as laid down in embodiments of the present disclosure. Preferred are recycled multifilament textured polyester yarns obtained from recycling of PET bottles. In other embodiments, the recycled multifilament textured polyester yarns may be sourced from various post-consumer and post-industrial waste materials. In some embodiments, recycled polyester yarns may be obtained from discarded fishing nets, plastic packaging, and other polyester-based waste products. In further embodiments, the recycled multifilament textured polyester yarns may be sourced from textile waste, such as discarded garments and fabric scraps from manufacturing processes. These materials may be collected, cleaned, and processed to extract polyester fibers, which are then spun into multifilament yarns. In another embodiment, the recycled multifilament textured polyester yarns may be derived from industrial polyester waste, such as off-cuts and trimmings from the production of polyester-based products like carpets, upholstery, and automotive interiors. These waste materials may be repurposed to create high-quality recycled yarns.

(27) In yet another embodiment, the recycled multifilament textured polyester yarns may be treated with eco-friendly finishes, such as water-repellent or antimicrobial treatments, to add functional properties to the fabric. These treatments may be performed using sustainable processes that minimize water and chemical usage, aligning with the overall goal of creating an environmentally friendly textile product.

(28) In another embodiment, the recycled multifilament textured polyester yarns may have any cross-sectional shapes, such as circular, trilobal, pentalobal, hexalobal, or octalobal. These shapes may influence the yarn's texture, luster, and overall performance characteristics. For instance, trilobal cross-sections may enhance the fabric's sheen and light reflection, making it more visually appealing. Pentalobal and hexalobal shapes may improve the yarn's bulkiness and cover factor, providing a softer and more voluminous texture. Octalobal cross-sections may increase the surface area of the yarn, enhancing its moisture-wicking properties and breathability. In some embodiments, the recycled multi-filament polyester yarn has a denier of 10 D to 140 D, for example, between 20 D to 140 D, 30 D to 130 D or 40 D to 120 D. In a preferred embodiment, the recycled multi-filament polyester yarn has a denier of 40 D to 120 D. In additional embodiments, the recycled multi-filament polyester yarn has a denier of 50 D to 110 D. In another embodiment, the recycled multi-filament polyester yarn has a denier of 70 D to 90 D. In further embodiments, the recycled multi-filament polyester yarn has a denier of 15 D to 135 D.

(29) In some embodiments, the recycled multi-filament polyester yarn comprises 5 to 40 filaments. In an embodiment, the recycled multi-filament polyester yarn comprises 5 to 30 filaments. In some embodiments, the recycled multi-filament polyester yarn may be homogeneous, consisting of filaments made from the same material. In other embodiments, the recycled multi-filament polyester yarn may be heterogeneous, comprising filaments made from different materials. For example, a heterogeneous recycled multi-filament polyester yarn may include a blend of recycled polyester filaments and recycled nylon filaments, enhancing the fabric's overall properties such as strength, elasticity, and durability.

(30) In some embodiments, the recycled multi-filament polyester yarns are wound, substantially parallel to one another and substantially adjacent to one another, on a multi-pick yarn package at an angle between 15 and 45 degrees, for example, between 15 and 30 degrees or between 15 and 25 degrees, and at a type A shore hardness between 50 to 90, for example, between 60 to 80 or between 50 to 80 to enable simultaneous insertion of the multi-filament polyester yarns during a single pick insertion event of a pick insertion apparatus of a loom. In an embodiment, the recycled multi-filament polyester yarns are wound, substantially parallel to one another and substantially adjacent to one another, on a multi-pick yarn package at an angle between 15 and 25 degrees and at a type A shore hardness between 50 to 90 to enable simultaneous insertion of the multi-filament polyester yarns during a single pick insertion event of a pick insertion apparatus of a loom.

(31) In some embodiments, the total content of recycled polyester in the fabric is at least about 35%, for example, about 40% or about 50% or about 60%. In some embodiments, total content of the recycled polyester in the fabric ranges from about 35% to about 70%, for example, from about 35% to about 60%, preferably, from about 35% to about 50%, more preferably, from about 35% to about 45%, and most preferably, from about 35% to about 43%. The total proportions of the bamboo-based warp spun yarn and the recycled polyester are provided subsequently in the present disclosure.

(32) In some embodiments, the fabric comprises 70 to 200 ends per square inch (EPI) warp spun yarns, for example, 80 to 180 ends per square inch (EPI) or 100 to 180 EPI. In some embodiments, the fabric comprises 70 to 200 ends per square inch (EPI) warp spun yarns, for example, 80 to 180 EPI or 100 to 180 EPI. In other embodiments, the fabric comprises 90 to 170 EPI warp spun yarns, for example, 95 to 160 EPI or 110 to 150 EPI. In further embodiments, the fabric comprises 75 to 190 EPI warp spun yarns, for example, 85 to 175 EPI or 105 to 165 EPI. A higher EPI indicates a denser fabric with more threads per inch, which results in a stronger and more durable textile. Conversely, a lower EPI signifies a looser weave with fewer threads per inch, which may affect the fabric's texture, flexibility, and overall strength.

(33) In some embodiments, the fabric comprises 62 to 1300 picks per square inch (PPI) recycled multi-filament polyester yarns, for example, from 65 to 1100 PPI or from 80 to 800 PPI. In other embodiments, the fabric comprises 70 to 1200 PPI recycled multi-filament polyester yarns, for example, from 75 to 1000 PPI or from 90 to 900 PPI. In further embodiments, the fabric comprises 100 to 800 PPI recycled multi-filament polyester yarns, for example, from 110 to 700 PPI or from 120 to 600 PPI. A higher PPI indicates a denser fabric with more picks per inch, which results in a stronger and more durable textile. This increased density may enhance the fabric's resistance to wear and tear, improve its tensile strength, and provide a smoother and more uniform surface. Conversely, a lower PPI signifies a looser weave with fewer picks per inch, which may affect the fabric's texture, flexibility, and overall strength. A lower PPI may result in a softer and more breathable fabric, but it may also be less durable and more prone to pilling and other forms of wear.

(34) In some embodiments, the fabric has a high total thread count ranging from 162 to 1500, for example, from 200 to 1200 or from 300 to 800. In other embodiments, the fabric has a total thread count ranging from 400 to 1000, for example, from 500 to 900 or from 600 to 800. In further embodiments, the fabric has a total thread count ranging from 700 to 1500, for example, from 800 to 1400 or from 900 to 1300. A higher total thread count indicates a denser and more tightly woven fabric, which generally results in a smoother and softer texture, enhanced durability, and improved resistance to wear and tear. Conversely, a lower total thread count, while still within the specified range, may result in a fabric that is more breathable and lightweight, making it suitable for applications where ventilation and moisture-wicking properties are desired, such as in summer bedding or activewear.

(35) The EPI, the PPI, and the total thread count of the fabric may be determined/selected based on the application. For example, in applications where durability and strength are paramount, such as in upholstery or heavy-duty workwear, a higher EPI and PPI, along with a higher total thread count, would be preferred

(36) In an embodiment, the fabric is of a twill weave, a satin weave or a percale weave. In some embodiments, the fabric is of a twill weave. In some embodiments, the fabric is of a satin weave. In some embodiments, the fabric is of a percale weave. In a preferred embodiment, the fabric is of a twill weave. In an embodiment, the fabric comprises different portions that utilize different weaves. For example, one portion of the fabric may be of a twill weave, another portion may be of a satin weave, and a third portion may be of a percale weave. The combination of weaves within a single fabric may optimize its performance characteristics, making it suitable for various applications where multiple properties are required.
