Abstract: To provide a method for sizing polytrimethylene terephthalate fiber yarns and a warp beam improved in mutual stickiness of the yarns and excellent in weavability, The sizing method according to the present invention is characterized in that the yarns are dried while controlling a stretch ratio S (%) between a squeeze roll and a drying cylinder in a range from −9 to −3% or from −1 to +4%. From the sized yarns thus obtained, a warp beam is formed at a winding tension in a range from 0.09 to 0.22 cN/dtex to have hardness in a range from 65 to 90 degrees.

Abstract: A lining cloth of a woven fabric in which the warp yarn comprises either of polyester filamentary yarn or cellulosic filamentary yarn and the filling yarn comprises either a false-twisted polyester filamentary yarn, a raw filamentary yarn or a cellulosic filamentary yarn, characterized in that an elongation in the filling-wise direction of the woven fabric is in a range from 5% to 12%, a coefficient of dynamic friction on the surface of the woven fabric is in a range from 0.20 to 0.45, and a filling-wise crimp index value of the woven fabric as defined by the following formula (1) is in a range from 0.003 to 0.013: Crimp ratio of the filling yarn/{warp density×(warp fineness)1/2}  (1) The lining cloth according to the present invention is soft in touch, excellent in slipperiness, resistant to seam slippage and free from wearing pressure. The lining cloth is suitably used as a lining for a skirt which is otherwise liable to ride up.
