Abstract: A woven fabric may include a base weave having base warp yarns and base weft yarns, a loop weave having anchor yarns and loop yarns extending orthogonal to the anchor yarns. Each anchor yarn may include under portion(s) extending on the back of the base warp yam(s) or weft yarn(s) and two over portions confining the anchor yarn under portion(s) and connecting it with the base weave by extending on the front of the base warp yarn(s) or weft yarn(s). Each loop yarn may include under portion(s) extending on the back of the anchor yarn(s) and two over portions confining the loop yarn under portion(s) and extending on the front of the anchor yarn(s). The anchor yam under portion(s) and loop yarn under portion(s) may extend in between their confining over portions on the back of at least five yarns.

Abstract: Woven fabric, particularly a warp faced fabric, such as a denim fabric, may include a front and a back, a plurality of picks extending in weft direction and a plurality of warp yarns extending in warp direction and bypassing picks at their frontside to define over portions and bypassing picks at their backside to define under portions. The plurality of warp yarns may include frontside warp yarns and backside warp yarns, and the under portions of the backside warp yarns bypass more picks than the under portions of the frontside warp yarns.

Abstract: Woven fabric, particularly a warp faced fabric, such as a denim fabric, comprising a front and a back, a plurality of picks extending in weft direction and a plurality of warp yarns extending in warp direction and bypassing picks at their front side to define over portions and bypassing picks at their back side to define under portions, wherein said plurality of warp yarns comprise frontside warp yarns and backside warp yarns, and the under portions of the backside warp yarns bypass more picks than the under portions of the frontside warp yarns.

Abstract: A filamentary core for an elastic composite yarn, particularly for an elastic textile composite yarn, comprising at least two elastic performance filaments, wherein each of the at least two elastic performance filaments is capable of being stretched at least about 2 times its package length and has at least 90% up to 100% elastic recovery after having being released from a stretching 2 times its package length.

Abstract: A method for dyeing, such as vat dyeing, or coating synthetic fibers, such as polyester fibers and/or polyamide fibers, or yarns or fabrics including these fibers can include providing a powdered dye or a powdered precursor dye (powdered leuko dye), or providing an aqueous dye formulation or an aqueous precursor dye formulation (an alkaline aqueous leuko dye formulation). An aqueous system including a lipase enzyme can be provided. The fibers/yarn/fabric can be pretreated with the aqueous system, and the pretreated fibers/yarn/fabric can be coated or dyed with the powdered dye or powdered precursor dye, or with the aqueous dye formulation or aqueous precursor dye formulation.

Abstract: A filamentary core for an elastic composite yarn, particularly for an elastic textile composite yarn, comprising at least two elastic performance filaments, wherein each of the at least two elastic performance filaments is capable of being stretched at least about 2 times its package length and has at least 90% up to 100% elastic recovery after having being released from a stretching 2 times its package length.

Abstract: A filamentary core (3) for an elastic composite yarn (1), particularly for an elastic textile composite yarn, comprising at least two elastic performance filaments (11, 13), each of the at least two elastic performance filaments capable of being stretched at least about 2 times its package length and having at least 90% up to 100% elastic recovery after having being released from a stretching 2 times its package length.

Abstract: The invention relates to a warping machine (1) for a rope (3) made of a plurality of yarns (5), comprising a support structure (25), a bobbin (9) onto which said rope is warped, wherein said bobbin is mounted on the support structure for rotating around a rotational bobbin axis (R1) of the bobbin, and a pressure drum (31) rotatably mounted on the support structure for rotating around a rotational drum axis (R2) for applying pressure onto the rope warped onto the bobbin, wherein said rotational bobbin axis is supported stationary with regard to said support structure and said rotational drum axis is translationally movably mounted on the support structure so that the pressure drum follows an increasing warp thickness on the bobbin.
