Abstract: A method and a system disclosed include drawing each of multiple synthetic yarns from a corresponding supply package to form an oriented yarn. Filaments within the oriented yarn are twisted and detwisted to provide texture thereto, to provide a low stability interlacing during weaving, and to intermingle the filaments, and a uniform air pressure is applied to the oriented yarn to provide a counter-twist. Also, a multi-pick yarn package is formed based on winding all formed oriented yarns, which serve as weft yarns forming adjacent substantially parallel yarns wound together, onto a spool. These weft yarns are simultaneously inserted in a single pick insertion event of a loom apparatus, and conveyed across a warp shed of the loom apparatus through a set of warp yarns. The set of warp yarns and the conveyed weft yarns are interlaced to produce an incremental length of a woven textile fabric.

Abstract: Yarns consisting essentially of about 85 to 90 weight % hydrophobic fiber and about 10 to 15 weight % hydrophilic fiber can be made into fabrics that exhibit a combination of properties that make them strongly preferred by wearers, as compared even to fabrics made from yarns containing only 5% more, or 5% less, of the hydrophilic fiber. More particularly, these novel yarns yield fabrics capable of quickly absorbing perspiration from a wearer's skin and yet capable of quickly releasing that moisture, resulting in surprising levels of wearer comfort and wearer preference.

Abstract: Sound absorbent fabric sleeves are formed from interthreaded, preferably braided, resilient, staple spun polymer yarns. Bulk and softness needed for sound absorption is provided through the staple fibers and resiliency desired for expansion capability and shape maintenance is provided through a resilient monofilament core. The yarns are sometimes referred to as dref mono/poly yarns. The sleeves can be heat set to better resist unraveling and maintain tubular shape. The yarns inherently resist fraying. A pressure sensitive or other adhesive layer or an elastomeric material or other material layer can be provided around all or part of the outsides of the sleeves. Spring clips can be provided extending through the tubes between the yarns to assist in mounting the sleeves or to modify them for uses other than sound absorption.

Abstract: An improved shrinkable covering made of a shrinkable plastic compound having an inlay of non-recoverable threads and recoverable threads has the recoverable threads arranged with excess length, preferably in helical form, and extending in the stretching and shrinking direction of the covering. As a consequence of this excess length, the recoverable threads are not subjected to any additional stretching during the stretching process of the covering. The recoverable threads act as "swelling agents" in the shrinking process and seal off any longitudinal capillary cavities which may be produced during the production process of the shrinkable covering.
