Abstract: “The present disclosure relates to a hydroentangled composite fabric and a method of making such a hydroentangled composite fabric. In one embodiment, a method for making a hydroentangled composite fabric is disclosed. The method comprises forming a first web of nonwoven fibers using a first carding machine; forming a second web of nonwoven fibers using a second carding machine; combining the first web of nonwoven fibers and the second web of nonwoven fibers into a final web of nonwoven fibers; and entangling the final web of nonwoven fibers with a woven fabric using a plurality of water jets, wherein the water jets are applied at a pressure of 75 to 400 bars.

Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to the preparation of eco-friendly engineered fabric, and more particularly to terry fabric and variations thereof. In one embodiment, a terry fabric is comprised of a soluble fiber blend, blended with cotton fibers, where the soluble fibers are dissolved in a caustic or enzyme solution to create highly porous yarns.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a hydroentangled composite fabric. The composite fabric includes a base woven fabric having a plurality of warp yarns and a plurality of weft yarns interwoven with the plurality of warp yarns. The composite fabric also includes a web of nonwoven fibers hydroentangled with and within the plurality of warp yarns and the plurality of weft yarns, such that the nonwoven fibers are substantially entangled with fibers of the plurality of warp yarns and fibers of the plurality of weft yarns.
