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 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: 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.

Abstract: Woven fabric, particularly a warp faced tabric, such as a denim fabric, comprising a front and a back, a plurality of picks extending in weft direction and a plurality of warp yams 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 yams com prise frontside warp yams and backside warp yarns, and the under portions of the backside warp yams bypass more picks than the under portions of the frontside warp yams.
