  • Textile fabrics of differential weave comprising multifilament threads wherein individual filaments have a linear density of one decitex or less
    Patent number: 5487936
    Abstract: A woven fabric is made of warp threads and weft threads. The warp threads have a different composition than the weft threads and at least one of the warp threads or weft threads is comprised of a multifilament fibre. The fabric is colored after it is manufactured by preferentially coloring the warp threads with a dyestuff which is preferentially taken up by the warp threads, but substantially repelled by the weft threads, and a different dyestuff which is preferentially taken up by the weft threads and substantially repelled by the warp threads. The resulting fabric can exhibit the shot silk effect.
