Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a new knitted fabric, particularly a knitted fabric having a crepe-like texture and appearance.

Although there are a wide variety of conventional woven fabrics, that is, crepe fabrics made from cloth, it is difficult to produce crepe-like fabrics made from knitted fabrics.

This is because, due to the principle of the stockinette knitting structure consisting of needle loops and sinker loops, the shape of the knitted loops is unstable and non-fixed, making it difficult to form uneven textures on the fabric surface. Although some attempts have been made by mistake, they are unsatisfactory in terms of texture, appearance, and feel, and have drawbacks that make them impractical.

The present invention overcomes these technical difficulties and proposes a crepe-like stockinette fabric that has sufficient commercial value and practicality. A cotton yarn with a small count and a small number of twists is used, and a cotton yarn with a large count and a large number of twists is used as the knitting yarn for the floating knitting course, with a ratio of at least 2 flat knitting courses to 1 floating knitting course, and a floating knitting wale is used every other wale. The fabric is repeatedly knitted to obtain the desired result, and the knitted fabric is shrunk by alkali treatment.

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments shown below. Fig. 1 is a front side plan view of an embodiment of the knitted fabric of the invention, Fig. 2 is a back side plan view of the same, and Figs. 3 and 4 are explanations of an embodiment of the same knitting course. Figures 1 and 5 show cross-sectional views of the fabric after alkali treatment. In Figures 1 and 2, 1 and 2 indicate knitting yarns, and as shown in the figure, knitting yarn 1 is used to flat knit course a. edited,
A floating knitting course b is knitted by the knitting yarn 2, and 3 indicates a sinker loop portion formed by floating over one or more wales W, that is, a floating knitting portion 3. In the example shown, flat knitting course a and floating knitting course b
, flat knitting course a is repeated to knit the required stockinette fabric.

At this time, the floating knitting course b can be arbitrarily adopted, such as every other knitting needle shown in Fig. 3, every two knitting needles shown in Fig. 4, or every three knitting needles shown in Fig. 4. This is the case of book placement, and in FIG. 3, numeral 4 indicates the lower needle on the lower hook side of a circular stand knitting machine or the like.

In the present invention, the knitting yarns 1 and 2 are cotton yarns, and have different yarn fineness and number of twists.For example, as the knitting yarn 1, S is added to a 60 count single cotton yarn. The knitting yarn 2 is a 40 count single cotton yarn twisted at 2000 times/m in the Z direction.
In this way, the required knitted fabric 5 is obtained, and then this knitted fabric 5 is subjected to an ordinary alkali treatment means such as dipping in alkali while the fabric 5 is kept under tension to perform alkali treatment. .

By this alkali treatment, the floating knitted portion 3 of the fabric 5 crosses one or more rows of wales W in the floating knitting course b.
The shrinkage caused by untwisting is extremely thick compared to the restrained sinker loop part in other flat knitting courses a.
As shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 5, the entire fabric 5 exhibits a wavy, uneven state, and a knitted fabric with a crisp crepe-like texture and appearance can be easily obtained.

At this time, after the alkali treatment, the fabric 5 may be further immersed in, for example, a polyvinyl alcohol-based water-soluble glue bath to carry out sizing processing.

Furthermore, regarding the yarn usage of knitting yarns 1 and 2 mentioned above, this may be reversed, and it is equally effective to use not only single yarns but also twisted yarns for yarns 1 and 2.

Furthermore, in the alkali treatment, knitting yarn 1 for flat knitting course a is knitted using the above-mentioned material which has been previously subjected to alkali treatment, and knitting yarn 1 for flat knitting course b is 2 is knitted using an untreated system that is not subjected to alkali treatment,
The same effect can be obtained by treating the knitted fabric 5 with an alkali, and the same crepe-like texture and appearance can also be obtained by this treatment.

The present invention is as described above, and a mixed type of flat knitting course a and floating knitting course b is adopted as the knitting fabric, and the knitting yarn 1 used for the flat knitting course a is a fine count cotton yarn with a small number of twists. The knitting yarn 2 used for floating knitting course b is a cotton yarn with a thick count and a large number of twists. By knitting in such a way that the number of floating knitted wales is larger overall than that of knitting course b, and floating knitted wales are obtained every other wale, when the floating knitted part 3 is shrunk by alkali treatment, the floating knitted part 3 becomes larger toward the floating knitted course b. Due to the occurrence of untwisting shrinkage and this being repeated every other wale, the entire fabric becomes wavy and uneven as shown in Figure 5, and furthermore, the small untwisting shrinkage on the hand-knitting course side, which accounts for the majority, is completely As a result, it is possible to reliably and easily obtain a crepe shape that is comparable in appearance and texture to crepe fabrics made from conventional woven fabrics, as well as in terms of crispness due to the concave and convex shrinkage surface, as well as breathable crepe fabrics that do not adhere to the skin. Good results are obtained.

At this time, the hand-knitted course and wale account for the majority in terms of the overall proportion of the fabric, so the fabric's shapeability is well maintained, and the shape does not easily change due to washing etc.
In addition, it is advantageous to have many hand-knitted courses and wales during cutting and sewing processing, and knitting fabrics that create a crepe-like or thin appearance by knitting floating knitted fabrics or hand-knitted fabrics using conventional strong twist yarns are advantageous. Compared to fabric, it is superior in that it has a crepe-like appearance and texture due to the use of threads and texture that differ in size and shrinkage.
