Definitions

  • This invention relates to wool blend velour fabrics, and more particularly to wool blend velour fabrics having minimal felting and shrinking.
  • Velour is a fabric with a short, thick pile which makes the fabric soft to the touch.
  • Velour is usually made of wool or cotton but can also be made from synthetic materials such as polyester.
  • a velour fabric made of wool will "felt" (i.e., the wool fibers will adhere and mat together through use and over time) and the fabric will have high shrinkage during the dyeing process and/or home laundering. It is known to overcome excess shrinkage and felting by treating the wool fibers chemically, e.g., by chlorination, or by ozonation, or by other oxidative process, all of which are environmentally unfriendly.
  • this invention relates to wool blend velour fabrics having minimal felting and shrinking
  • One aspect of the invention provides a wool blend velour fabric article that includes a fabric body having a technical face and a technical back.
  • the fabric body having a velour surface formed at one or both of the technical face and the technical back.
  • the velour surface is formed of yarn (e.g., a spun yarn) that includes a blend of wool and manufactured fibers (e.g., synthetic fibers such as polyester fibers, nylon fibers, acrylic fibers, modacrylic fibers, polyolefin, and polylactic acid, and/or regenerated fibers such as rayon fibers).
  • the wool and manufactured fibers i.e., synthetic and/or regenerated fibers
  • are blended across a cross-section of the yarn such that each wool fiber is generally surrounded by manufactured fibers and thereby shielded from interaction with other ones of the wool fibers.
  • the wool fibers can have an average diameter of 16 micron to about 36 micron, e.g., about 26 micron. In some embodiments, the wool fibers are not chemically treated by any oxidative process.
  • the manufactured fibers can have an average thickness of less than 2 denier per filament.
  • the blend includes at least 25 wt.%, e.g., at least 50 wt. %, of the manufactured fibers. In some cases, the manufactured fibers have flame retardant property.
  • the manufactured fibers may include modacrylic and/or flame retardant rayon.
  • the wool fibers may be treated with flame retardant chemical.
  • Another aspect of the invention features a method of forming a wool blend velour fabric, the method includes joining a loop yarn and a stitch yarn to form a fabric prebody, the stitch yarn forming a technical face of the fabric prebody and the loop yarn forming a technical back of the fabric prebody; and finishing at least one of the technical face and the technical back of the fabric prebody to form a velour fabric body.
  • At least one of the loop yarn and the stitch yarn includes a blend of wool and manufactured fibers. The wool and manufactured fibers are blended across a cross-section of the yarn such that each wool fiber is generally surrounded by manufactured fibers and thereby shielded from interaction with other ones of the wool fibers.
  • both the loop yarn and the stitch yarn include blends of wool and manufactured fibers, and the wool and manufactured fibers are blended across respective cross-sections of the yarns such that each wool fiber is generally surrounded by manufactured fibers and thereby shielded from interaction with other ones of the wool fibers.
  • the fabric body is subjected to a dyeing process.
  • a method of forming a velour fabric includes joining a yarn comprising a blend of wool and manufactured fibers (i.e., synthetic and/or regenerated fibers) to form a fabric prebody, the wool and manufactured fibers being blended across a cross-section of the yarn such that each wool fiber is generally surrounded by manufactured fibers and thereby shielded from interaction with other ones of the wool fibers; and finishing at least one surface of the fabric prebody to form a velour fabric body.
  • wool and manufactured fibers i.e., synthetic and/or regenerated fibers
  • Methods can also include finishing the technical face and the technical back to form a double-face velour fabric body.
  • the fabric body is subjected to a dyeing process.
  • Methods may optionally include finishing one of the technical face and the technical back to form a single face velour fabric body, e.g., having plaited jersey on one side.
  • a wool blend velour fabric article in yet another aspect, includes a fabric body having a technical face formed by a stitch yarn and a technical back formed by a loop yarn.
  • the fabric body has a velour surface formed at one or both of the technical face and the technical back.
  • One or both of the stitch yarn and the loop yarn comprises a blend of wool and manufactured fibers (i.e., synthetic and/or regenerated fibers).
  • the wool and manufactured fibers are blended across a cross-section of the yarn such that each wool fiber is generally surrounded by manufactured fibers and thereby shielded from interaction with other ones of the wool fibers.
  • the wool fibers can have an average diameter of 16 micron to about 36 micron, e.g., about 26 micron. In some embodiments, the wool fibers are not chemically treated by any oxidative process.
  • the manufactured fibers can have an average thickness of less than 2 denier per filament.
  • the blend includes at least 25 wt.%, e.g., at least 50 wt. %, of the manufactured fibers.
  • the stitch yarn may include elastomeric material (e.g., elastomer yarn and/or fibers).
  • the manufactured fibers may have flame retardant property. For example, the manufactured fibers may include modacrylic and/or flame retardant rayon.
  • the wool fibers may be treated with flame retardant chemical.
  • Embodiments can include one or more of the following advantages.
  • manufactured fibers where each wool fiber is generally surrounded by manufactured fibers, can help to shield the wool fibers from interacting with each other and, as a result, can help to inhibit felting and shrinking of the fabric.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic end section view of a double-face fabric prebody.
  • FIG. 2A is a detailed cross-sectional view of a spun loop yarn.
  • FIG. 2B is a detailed cross-sectional view of a spun stitch yarn.
  • FIG. 3 is a somewhat diagrammatic perspective view of a double-face velour fabric article.
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a segment of a circular knitting machine.
  • FIGS. 5A-5G are sequential views of a cylinder latch needle in a reverse plating circular knitting process.
  • a wool blend velour fabric article is formed of yarns consisting of wool fibers in a blend with manufactured fibers (i.e., synthetic and/or regenerated fibers).
  • the wool and manufactured fibers are blended, i.e. spun, together in a manner to control the distribution of the wool fibers and of the manufactured fibers, across the cross-section of the yarn, such that each of the wool fibers is generally surrounded by manufactured fibers, and thus shielded from interaction with other ones of the wool fibers.
  • the resulting velour fabric article exhibits reduced shrinkage and felting.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a fabric prebody 12 that is used to form the velour fabric article 10 (FIG. 3) of the invention.
  • the fabric prebody is formed, e.g., in a knitting process, by joining a stitch yarn 14 and a loop yarn 16.
  • the stitch yarn 14 forms the technical face 18 of the resulting fabric prebody 12 and the loop yarn 16 forms the opposite technical back 20, where it is formed into loops 22.
  • the loop yarn 16 extends outwardly to overlie and cover the stitch yarn 14 at the technical face 18.
  • the loop yarn 16 forming the technical back 20 of the fabric body 12 is a spun yarn consisting of a blend of wool and at least 25 wt.% manufactured fibers.
  • the wool and manufactured fibers 17a, 19a of the loop yarn 16 are spun (e.g., core-spun) together in a manner to control the distribution of the wool fibers 17a and of the manufactured fibers 19a, across the cross-section of the yarn such that each of the wool fibers 17a is generally surrounded by manufactured fibers 19a, and thus shielded from interaction with other ones of the wool fibers 17a.
  • the wool fibers 17a of the loop yarn 16 have an average fiber diameter in the range of about 16 micron to about 36 micron, e.g., about 26 micron.
  • the wool fibers 17a are not treated by chlorination, or by ozonation, or by any other oxidative processes.
  • the manufactured fibers 19a of the loop yarn 16 can be synthetic fibers (e.g., polyester, nylon, acrylic, modacrylic, polyolefm, and/or polylactic acid fibers) and/or regenerated fibers (e.g., rayon fibers).
  • the manufactured fibers 19a are relatively finer fibers having an average thickness of less than about 2 denier per filament.
  • the stitch yarn 14 forming the technical face 16 of the fabric body 12 can be also made of spun yarn consisting of a blend of wool and at least 25 wt.% manufactured (e.g., polyester, nylon, acrylic, modacrylic,. polyolefm, polylactic acid, and/or rayon) fibers.
  • the wool and manufactured fibers 17b, 19b of the stitch yarn 14 are distributed such that each of the wool fibers 17b is generally surrounded by the manufactured fibers 19b.
