Publication number: 20160206026Abstract: A non-twisted yarn having a fine count, a yarn count of 40-90, is employed as a pile yarn. This contributes to enhancement of good touch feeling, lightness, and breathability and suppression of bulkiness feeling, and to maintaining heat-retaining property. As a result thereof, a towel cloth having a pile formed of a non-twisted yarn can be applied to clothes. The non-twisted yarn is formed by twisting fibers of raw cotton that has an effective fiber length, 34-42 mm, longer than the usual. Further, the non-twisted yarn is adjusted its adjustable range of reverse within a predetermined range ?10˜10%. Accordingly, fluff come-out can be suppressed as well as stability of quality can be achieved.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2014Publication date: July 21, 2016Applicant: UCHINO CO., LTD.Inventor: Shuichi HOZUMI

Publication number: 20160208420Abstract: A pile woven fabric that has both of lightness and thinness almost equivalent to a typical clothing fabric and water absorbency property, heat-retaining property, breathability, good touch feeling, etc. of towel cloth. The pile woven fabric has pile height lower than a typical comparison example towel cloth. The pile woven fabric has a pile formed of a cotton yarn that has a yarn count finer than that of the comparison example. The pile woven fabric has pile density higher than that of the comparison example. In the pile woven fabric, the cotton yarn is twisted together with a water-soluble yarn such that the water-soluble yarn is twisted in a direction opposite to a twisting direction of the cotton yarn, and, after weaving processing, the water-soluble yarn is removed to induce reverse twisting of the cotton yarn.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 31, 2014Publication date: July 21, 2016Applicant: UCHINO CO., LTD.Inventor: Shuichi HOZUMI
