DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a bath towel.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, bath towels made of cotton pile fabric have been widely used. However, cotton towels can remove dead skin, sebum and dirt on the skin,
The massage effect by rubbing the skin is hardly obtained.

[0003] In consideration of such points, various bath towels that can also provide a massage effect are commercially available. For example, knitted sponge in knitted polyester,
A bath towel for descaling, which is woven with synthetic fibers such as nylon, is commercially available.

[0004] Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-32383 discloses a bath towel in which spun yarn is twisted into a strong twist, and the strongly twisted yarn is meshed.

Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-43992 proposes a rased towel made by raschel knitting a spun yarn that has been subjected to a wheely process.

[0006]

Conventionally, commercially available friction bath towels, for example, those made of nylon are hard,
Excessive rubbing can damage the skin, and the texture and texture of the material when hand held is not good. In addition, since the sponge portion of the bath towel containing the sponge is not so strong, there is a risk that the sponge may be damaged earlier during use.

Further, the aforementioned Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-32383.
In the case of the bath towel made of netting as disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. JP-A-2006-133, it takes time and effort to manufacture, and the feeling is not good. The texture is not good due to many twists and many intersections. In addition, 6
A Raschel machine as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 3-43992 has no voluminous feel, and it is difficult for the feel and feel to be appropriate.

[0008] In response to the above conventional problems, the present applicant has
To improve this, the utility model registration No. 252146 must be
No. 6 proposes a special towel weaving bath towel. In this bath towel, the leno weave is laid so that the crossing direction of the leno with respect to the ground warp is opposite in the pair of warps adjacent to each other. With such a special weaving method, we succeeded in giving the necessary volume to the bath towel. However, since such leno weaving has a different weaving structure from the usual gauze weaving conventionally used in leno weaving machines, special threading is required for that purpose.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention can be manufactured on a conventional weaving loom, and is more voluminous.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a bath towel with a better feel and a better feel.

[0010]

According to the present invention, most of the bath towels are made of leno weave, the leno weave is a saori, and the weft in the saori is a plurality of single yarns obtained by twisting the single yarns. In the weaving state, the density of the ground warp and the twine warp is 2 to 10 yarns / inch, and the weft density is 5 to 15 yarns / inch.
The above object has been achieved by a bath towel characterized by inches.

According to the present invention, most of the bath towel is made of leno weave, the leno weave is saori, and the weft in the saori is made of non-shrinkable or low shrinkage yarn and heat or moisture. The density of the ground warp and the leno warp in the weave state is 2 to 10 / inch, and the weft density is 5 to 15 /
The above object has been achieved by a bath towel characterized by inches.

In the present invention, the weft density refers to a yarn (one or a plurality of yarns) inserted into one opening counted as one weft. That is, a weft inserted between two adjacent interlaces of a warp in a saori is counted as one weft in the weft density.

[0013] As a method for producing the above-mentioned bath towel, the present invention provides a method of producing a single towel, which is obtained by twisting a plurality of single yarns in the same direction as that of the single yarns as a weft in a saori. In the state, the density of the ground warp and the leno warp is 2 to 10 yarns / inch, and the density of the weft is 5 to 15 yarns / inch. A method for producing a bath towel is provided.

Consumers can give water to the towel cloth woven in this way by using hot water when taking a bath to shrink the weft yarn. It is good also as the product which came out.

In another method for producing a bath towel according to the present invention, a non-shrinkable or low-shrinkable yarn and a yarn exhibiting shrinkage by heat or moisture are used as wefts in leno weave, and The density of the ground warp and the warp warp in the above are 2 to 10 yarns / inch, and the weft density is 5
A method for manufacturing a bath towel characterized in that most of the bath towel is woven into a leno weave of a saori structure so as to have a thickness of about 15 / inch.

Consumers can apply heat or moisture to the woven towel cloth with hot water when bathing to shrink the weft yarn. However, heat or moisture is applied during production to produce a loop-like shrinkage in the weft yarn. It may be a product with a sense of volume.

[0017]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on embodiments. In the bath towel of the present invention, a thread thicker than a thread used for a usual cotton bath pile towel is used so that the bath towel is not easily broken even when the skin is rubbed. Moreover, even if such a thick thread is used, the space between the threads is widened to reduce the weight when the towel is wetted with water, and the moisture density is reduced by reducing the thread density. Use a small amount of water when using (ie when rinsing, squeezing or rubbing the skin after squeezing)
It does not become too heavy and is easy to use with a light feeling.

A normal woven fabric is made of a warp arranged in parallel and a weft intersecting at right angles to the warp. In such a woven fabric, if the yarn density is reduced, the warp and the weft tend to shift. Would.

For this reason, in the bath towel according to the present invention, leno weaving is employed in order to prevent deviation of warp and weft, and most of the area of the towel is leno weave having a saori structure. The organization chart of Saori is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 1, there are two types of warp in saori, one type is ground warp 1 and the other is leno warp 2, and one ground warp and one leno warp are paired to form a leno warp. Numeral 2 changes the position of each weft 3 and intersects with the ground warp 1.
Make a cross (intersection) between and the weft 3.

The woven fabric used in the present invention has the same woven fabric structure as the woven fabric conventionally used as a kimono fabric for summer or a curtain, but the woven fabric used conventionally is used as it is. Then, as a bath towel, there is no voluminous feel and it is not suitable for rubbing.

In the leno weaving of the present invention, the density of the warp and the weft is made extremely coarse unlike the saori used for ordinary kimonos and the like. The density of the ground warp 1 and the leno warp 2 is 2 to 10 per inch in the weaving state, and the thicker warp 1 and 2 has a lower density per inch and the smaller warp 1 When 2 is used, the density can be increased. By reducing the density of the ground warp 1 and the leno 2 in this way, it is possible for the weft 3 to move freely between adjacent warps while being held between the leno and the leno. And This makes it possible to make use of the expression such as the feeling of the weft.

On the other hand, the weft density is 5 to 15 yarns per inch. Also in this case, the fine count can increase the yarn density. That is, if the yarn is thick, the density is coarse,
When the yarn is thin, the yarn density may be increased. The warp density (the density of the ground warp 1 or the leno warp 2) and the weft density depend on the thickness of each yarn, but when the ground warp 1, the leno warp 2 and the weft 3 have substantially the same thickness, the weft density Should be higher.

In the present invention, most of the bath towel is made of a woven cloth, but the ears and both ends may be made of another woven fabric. Also, the same saori may be densified by changing the warp density at the ears and the like.

[0024] In the present invention, 1
One method uses a twist of at least two single yarns as the weft 3. In this case, the twist direction (for example, Z twist) of each single yarn is all the same direction, and the upper twist when these single yarns are twisted is also the same direction (for example, Z twist). In this way, by making the twisting direction of the single yarn the same as the twisting direction at the time of twisting, the twist enters the weft 3 strongly. In this case, the twist in the twisting is about 5 to 15 times per inch. The saori is woven with such a yarn density.

Water is applied to the gauze woven in this way. In order to impart moisture, it may be blanched or wet with water. Alternatively, it can be carried out by dyeing a woven fabric. Further, when the towel of the present invention is sold in a woven state, when a consumer uses the towel of the present invention in a bath, it means that water has been applied to the gauze.

As described above, when water is added to the gauze of the present invention, the density of the ground warp 1 and the twine warp 2 serving as the warp is low as described above, so that the weft 3 can move freely. As shown schematically, the weft 3 draws a loop and shrinks to a soft state. That is, the density of the ground warp 1 and the leno 2 is coarse, and the weft 3 is
An adjacent warp is held between the eyes and the twine while being held by the warp.
In a state where it can move freely between the yarn and the warp,
When There is applied, as seen in FIG. 4 (b), the single yarn
Twisted in the same direction as the twist direction to form weft 3
Since the two single yarns are separated and the upper yarn is twisted in the same direction as the single yarn hung on the weft 3, a loop is generated in the separated single yarn and the single yarn is contracted. Ri final state der towel of the present invention that such a state can be obtained by the above-described method, shrink occurs facial expressions (loop having a weft
Live).

The state of the shrinkage differs depending on the degree of the upper twist in the weft 3, the thickness of the weft, the material of the weft, and the like.

As the material of the yarn used in the above-mentioned method, hemp, cotton, silk, cellulosic fiber and synthetic fiber can be used. In order to impart a sufficient crispness, it is preferable to use hemp yarns and heavily twisted yarns for the warp yarns 1 and 2. Further, the warp yarns 1 and 2 and the weft yarn 3 may be made of the same material, or may be made of a combination of different materials.

As for the thickness of the yarn, it is preferable that the ground warp 1 and the tangled warp 2 have substantially the same thickness. Weft 3
May be the same as warp 1 or 2. Since the weft 3 has a greater effect of the twist on the warp 1 or 2 than the thickness thereof, the weft 3 may be thinner or thicker than the warp 1 or 2.

In the present invention, another method for producing a plump feeling uses a non-shrinkable or low-shrinkable yarn and a yarn that exhibits shrinkage by heat or moisture as the weft 3. In this case, as shown in FIG. 5, one or more non-shrinkable or low-shrinkable yarns 31, 32 and a yarn 33 exhibiting shrinkage by heat or moisture are twisted with a sweet twist to form one yarn. The weft 3 may be used. Alternatively, only one or more non-shrinkable or low-shrinkable yarn 34 is used as the weft 3 as shown in the organization diagram shown in FIG. 13, or only the weft 3 is used to express the shrinkage due to heat or moisture. Alternatively, weft 3 may be formed by inserting both yarns 34 and 33 in the same opening. In other words, even if we do not insert a yarn that exhibits shrinkage in all the openings, by making the thickness of the weft, shrinkage performance, etc. appropriate, the yarn that exhibits shrinkage by heat or moisture shrinks. In this case, the warp density can be sufficiently increased, and therefore, the interval between the warps can be reduced, and a loop can be generated by a non-shrinkable or low-shrinkable yarn.

When the non-shrinkable or low-shrinkable yarn 34 and the yarn 33 exhibiting shrinkage due to heat or moisture are weft-inserted in the same opening, both yarns 34, 33 are sweet-twisted (per inch). (0.5 to 5 times) to form a single weft, or to align both yarns 34 and 33 to form a single weft, or to insert the wefts 1 and 2 into the open state. During the operation, the yarn 34 having no shrinkage or low shrinkage and the yarn 33 exhibiting shrinkage by heat or moisture may be separately inserted.

In the second method, the weft 3
, The density of the ground warp and twine warp in the weave state is 2 to 15 / inch, preferably 2 to
Most of the bath towels are woven into a leno weave with a woven structure, with a weft density of 10 / inch and a weft density of 3-20 / inch, preferably 5-15 / inch.

Examples of yarns that exhibit shrinkage by heat include polyurethane elastic fibers (spandex).
The polyurethane elastic fiber is heat-set in an appropriate stretched state so that it can be easily made into a fabric. Such a yarn is commercially available as Operon (registered trademark), a product of Du Pont-Toray Co., Ltd. Synthetic fibers having latent shrinkage are commercially available as yarns that exhibit shrinkage by heat. For example, there is Xalan (registered trademark, acrylic fiber) of Toyobo Co., Ltd.

[0034] A strong twist yarn can be used as a yarn that exhibits shrinkage due to moisture. The degree of the strong twist is appropriately selected depending on the thickness of the yarn and the material of the yarn so that the shrinkage becomes 10% or more, preferably 20% or more with respect to the original length. For example, Tencel (registered trademark, purified cellulose fiber) 2
In the case of 0/2, twisting is performed about 10 times per inch when used for ordinary fabrics, but in the present invention, twisting is preferably performed 18 times or more per inch.

As the material of the non-shrinkable or low-shrinkable yarn, hemp, cotton, silk, cellulosic fibers and synthetic fibers can be used.

Heat or moisture is applied to the woven towel cloth to shrink the yarn 33 that expresses shrinkage due to the heat or moisture in the weft yarn 3. Heat or moisture can be imparted by blanching or dyeing the fabric. Heat may be applied to the dry towel cloth.
In addition, when the towel of the present invention is sold in a woven state, even if a consumer uses the towel of the present invention in a bath, it means that the towel cloth has been moistened.

In the woven towel cloth, ground warp 1
The density of the tangled yarn 2 is low (ie, the warp
), The weft 3 becomes warp between the twine
Retained, free between adjacent warps
When the yarn 33 exhibiting shrinkage by heat or moisture is shrunk in this way, the contracted yarn 33 restricts the interval between adjacent warps and reduces the interval. The non-shrinkable or low shrinkage yarns 31, 32, 34 are between adjacent warps
It becomes a surplus state. At this time, the ground warp 1
The tangled warp 2 intersects, and the warp that goes up at the intersection passes under the weft, and the warp that goes down at the intersection passes over the weft, so that the weft with reduced tension in the surplus state 3
1, 32 and 34 are pushed up and down by the force of the warp yarns 1 and 2,
Form a loop. As shown in FIG.
Crosses under the ground warp 1 (when viewed from below), the ground warp 1 pushes up the weft 3 and the twine warp 2 acts to push down the weft 3 (note that the upper warp In this case, the ground warp 1 and the tangled warp 2 cross each other in the opposite direction, and the directions acting on the weft are also reversed.) For this reason, the non-shrinkable or low-shrink yarns 31, 32, 34 form loops on both sides of the towel cloth. Such a state is the final state of the towel of the present invention obtained by the above-mentioned second method, and the expression of the weft (loop on both sides of the towel cloth)
Is alive).

[0038]

[Example 1] Tencel (registered trademark, purified cellulose fiber) was used as ground warp yarn, twine yarn and weft yarn. The ground warp and twine warp are obtained by twisting two # 10 single yarns, and this twist is in a filter-twisted state like a normal yarn. On the other hand, the weft was obtained by twisting two # 10 single yarns having a Z twist in the Z direction. Twisting was performed 10 times per inch in the Z direction as the upper twist. Then, it was woven into a saori as shown in FIG. The warp densities at locations other than the ears when raised from the loom were three ground warp and one twin warp per inch, and the weft density was 10 per inch. The warp density at the ear was more than doubled.

FIG. 3 shows the dough before blanching.
(A) and the photograph of FIG. 3 (b). FIG. 3 (a) is a photograph of a cloth of about 9.5 cm square including the towel ears and a part of the central part.
(B) is an enlarged photograph of the vicinity of the boundary of the ear.

FIG. 4 (a) and FIG. 4 (b) show the state after blanching. As can be seen from the photographs of FIGS. 4A and 4B, in the case of blanching, two single yarns constituting the weft are separated at a place where the warp density is low, and each single yarn has a loop shape. Is shrunk to The wefts are in a state of approaching each other two stages at a time. Since the warp is dense at the ear portion, such a loop-like shrinkage of the weft does not occur.

As described above, except for the ears, the weft is shrunk in a loop shape and is in a plump state, and the feel is very good.
Despite having a soft texture, when used as a bath towel, the skin was moderately irritating and the soap foamed well.

Example 2 Tencel (registered trademark, trademark) was used as a non-shrinkable single yarn in ground warp, twine and weft.
(Purified cellulose fiber) was used. The ground warp and twine warp are obtained by twisting two # 10 single yarns, and this twist is in a filter-twisted state like a normal yarn. As the single yarn without shrinkage in the weft, two # 10 single yarns were used. As a yarn that expresses contractility by heat in the weft, a twin yarn obtained by twisting two # 40 (cotton count) of Operon (registered trademark, polyurethane elastic fiber) was used. The three yarns constituting these wefts were twisted with a sweet twist of 3 times / inch to obtain a weft in leno weave. Then, it was woven into a saori as shown in FIG.

The warp densities at locations other than the ears when raised from the loom were 3 ground warp and 1 twin warp, and 10 wefts per inch. Thereafter, the dough was blanched with boiling water. FIG. 6 is an organizational diagram schematically showing a state after blanching. 7 (a) and FIG.
This is shown in the photograph of (b). As described above, one of the yarns constituting the weft contracted due to heat, and the other two single yarns formed a loop. This bath towel has a plump feel and a moderate volume,
It was very lightweight. Despite having a soft texture, when used as a bath towel, the skin was moderately irritating and the soap foamed well. Example 3 Tencel (registered trademark, purified cellulose fiber) was used as a non-shrinkable yarn in ground warp, twine and weft. The ground warp and twine warp are obtained by twisting two No. 10 single yarns of Tencel, and this twist is filter-twisted like a normal yarn. As the non-shrinkable yarn in the weft, two tencel No. 10 single yarns were used. Also, as a yarn that expresses shrinkage due to heat in the weft, a yarn having a 1 / 28th count (a single yarn having a common count of 28) of Xalan (registered trademark, acrylic fiber having latent shrinkage) of Toyobo Co., Ltd. Using. These non-shrinkable yarns and shrinkable yarns were twisted with a sweet twist (3 turns / inch) to obtain a weft in the leno yarn.
Then, the fabric was finished in a saori as shown in FIG.

The warp densities at locations other than the ears when raised from the loom were 3.5 ground warp yarns and 3.5 warp warp yarns per inch, and the weft density was 11 yarns per inch. Thereafter, the dough was blanched with boiling water. FIG. 8 (a) and FIG.
This is shown in the photograph of (b). FIG. 8A is a photograph of the cloth including the ear part and a part of the central part of the towel, and FIG. 8B is an enlarged photograph of the central part.

The one after the blanching was in the state shown in the photographs of FIGS. 9 (a) and 9 (b). Note that FIG.
(A) is a photograph of the cloth including the ear part and a part of the central part of the towel, and FIG. 9 (b) is an enlarged photograph of the central part. As can be seen in the photographs of FIGS. 9 (a) and 9 (b), one of the yarns constituting the weft was shrunk by heat and the other two yarns formed a loop in the blanched one. . The warp density after blanching was 6 yarns per inch. That is, the interval between the warp yarns is narrowed because the yarn that exhibits shrinkage due to heat shrinks. The non-shrinkable yarn is in a surplus state, and the surplus non-shrinkage yarn is in a state of drawing a loop on the front and back of the fabric due to the influence of the warp forming the twine. The weft density was about 11 yarns per inch, which was not so different from before blanching.

This bath towel was very soft because of a small number of wefts and warps, and had a moderate volume, but was very light.

Example 4 Tencel (registered trademark, trademark) was used as a non-shrinkable single yarn in ground warp yarn, twine yarn and weft yarn.
(Purified cellulose fiber) was used. The ground warp yarn and the twine warp yarn are obtained by twisting two # 10 single yarns, and this twist is in a filter-twisted state like a normal yarn. Three 20th single yarns were used as non-shrinkable single yarns in the weft. 20/2 of Tencel (registered trademark, purified cellulose fiber) as a yarn exhibiting shrinkage due to moisture in a weft yarn
(Two twisted # 20 single yarns) were used. This yarn was twisted 20 times per inch when it was made into a twin yarn, and was made into a strongly twisted yarn. These three non-shrinkable yarns and one yarn exhibiting shrinkage due to moisture were twisted with a very sweet twist of 0.5 times / inch to obtain a weft in leno weave. Then, it was woven into a saori as shown in FIG.

The warp densities at locations other than the ears when raised from the loom were three for ground warp and twine warp, respectively, and the weft density was nine per inch. Fig. 10 (a) shows the dough before water is added.
And the photograph of FIG. 10 (b). Note that FIG.
(A) is a photograph of the cloth including the ear part and a part of the central part of the towel, and FIG. 10 (b) is an enlarged photograph of the central part.

Thereafter, the towels were used in a bath and air-dried as they were.
This is shown in the photograph of (b). FIG. 12 (a) and FIG.
This is shown in the photograph of (b). In addition, FIG.
(A) and FIG. 12 (a) are photographs of the cloth including the ear part and a part of the central part of the towel.
(B), FIG. 11 (b) and FIG. 12 (b) are enlarged views of the central part. The warp density after natural drying is 5.5 yarns per inch, and the warp density after drying with a dryer is 6 yarns per inch. When dried using a dryer, it shrinks due to moisture. The shrinking of the thread was large. In addition, when the towel after drying with a dryer is used again in hot water in a bath and naturally dried, the towels shown in FIGS.
It became the state of.

In this embodiment, FIG. 11 (b) and FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2 (b), not only does the non-shrinkable yarn form a loop, but also the yarn that expresses shrinkage due to moisture gently emerges slightly up and down rather than linearly due to the effect of the warp. It is in a state and draws a shallow loop,
There is no gap as in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 4 (b), and the whole fabric has a loop almost uniformly. The bath towel had a very plump, soft feel and moderate volume but was very light. When used as a bath towel, the skin feels good and the soap foams well. [Example 5] As in the case of the above-mentioned embodiment, as the warp, a twin yarn obtained by twisting two tencel No. 10 as a single yarn having no shrinkage is used. As the weft, a hemp 40/3 (three yarns obtained by twisting three single yarns of the 40th count) was used as a non-shrinkable yarn. In addition, as the yarn which expresses shrinkage due to the heat of the weft, an acrylic fiber having a latent shrinkage 1/10 (single yarn of 10th in the common type number) was used as in the previous example. In this embodiment, a gauze structure as shown in FIG. In the organization diagram shown in FIG. 14, the non-shrinkable or low-shrinkage yarn 34 is inserted in all the openings, but the yarn 33 expressing contractility is inserted into the weft once every three openings. I have put it. Using the above-described yarn, a towel cloth was woven according to the organization diagram of FIG. In addition, 1
In order to pass a non-shrinkable yarn and a shrinkable yarn in one opening through the same opening, the two yarns are previously twisted with a very sweet twist and inserted into the opening as a single weft once. Good
Alternatively, a yarn having no shrinkage and a yarn exhibiting shrinkage may be separately inserted into the warp in an open state.

The warp density in the state raised from the weaving machine was 4 ground warp yarns and 4 warp warp yarns per inch, and the weft density was 9 yarns per inch. Both of the two yarns, one having a thread and the other having no shrinkage, are counted as one weft.) Fig. 16 shows the dough before blanching.
(A) and FIG. 16 (b).
FIG. 16B is an enlarged photograph of FIG. 16A. The dough was then blanched. FIG. 15 schematically shows a state after blanching. FIGS. 17 (a) and 17 (b) show photographs after blanching, and FIG. 17 (b) is an enlarged photograph of FIG. 17 (a). The warp density after blanching is 6 yarns per inch, and the interval between the warp yarns is narrow. The density of the weft yarn was about 9 per inch, which was almost the same as before blanching.

In this fabric, the non-shrinkable yarn is a triple thread, but since the triple thread is twisted normally, the twist of the triple thread is loosened after blanching. In the state, there is a loop on the front and back of the fabric. This fabric had a rough feel with the feel of hemp, giving a feel like a natural loofah. As a bath towel, it felt refreshing and the texture was good. [Example 6] As the ground warp yarn and the twine warp yarn, two Tencel No. 10 twisted twin yarns were used. As the weft, a yarn exhibiting shrinkage by heat was used, and 1/10 of an acrylic fiber having latent crimpability was used. In addition, hemp 60/3 (three twisted yarns of 60 count) was used as a yarn with little shrinkage. This was woven based on the organization diagram of the saori as shown in FIG. The density of ground warp and twine warp before blanching is 4 per inch, respectively.
And the weft density was 10 per inch. The cloth was blanched to shrink the shrinkable yarn. This resulted in a warp density of 7 threads per inch and a weft density of 10 threads per inch.

FIG. 18 shows a photograph of the one before blanching.
FIGS. 19 (a) and 19 (b) show photographs of the ones after blanching and FIGS. 19 (a) and 19 (b). 18 (a) and FIG. 19 (a) are photographs of the cloth including a part of the ear part and the central part of the towel, and FIG. 18 (b) and FIG.
9 (b) is an enlarged photograph of the central portion.

In this fabric, since the non-shrinkable weft yarn is relatively thin, the feel is affected by the feel of the shrunk yarn, giving a slightly hard feeling. The thin yarn that does not shrink draws a fine loop, but because this yarn is hemp, it fits with the feel of the shrunk yarn and it feels hard as the feel of the whole fabric, suitable for scouring, for example .

[0055]

The bath towel of the present invention is lightweight, has a plump feel, and is easy to use as a bath towel. In addition, the bath towel of the present invention has a moderate hardness because the warp is entangled while the loop-like shrinkage is generated by the weft, and has a hardness suitable for rubbing the skin, The feel is very good. The bath towel of the present invention has a large volume and good soap foaming. In addition, since the yarn density is low and the mesh is coarse, it dries quickly after use.
