20130037163 | BULKED YARN AND WOUND YARN FOR PRODUCTION OF WOVEN OR KNIT FABRIC, WOVEN OR KNIT FABRIC, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME - A bulked yarn comprising a bulked single spun yarn obtainable from a composite twisted yarn in which a single spun yarn and a water-soluble yarn together in a direction opposite to the twisting direction of the single spun yarn by dissolving and removing the water-soluble yarn in a hydrophilic solvent from the composite twisted yarn is prepared. When the bulked yarn with a length of 100 cm is hung down in a state where both ends of the yarn are fixed at a distance of 10 cm from each other in a direction perpendicular to the direction of gravitational force, twisting does not occur or an average value of the distances from the uppermost end of a twisting section to the first and second fixed ends of the yarn is 30 cm or more. The bulked yarn has excellent texture, lightweight properties, and anti-pilling properties, as well as excellent weaving and knitting properties and productivity. Further, a woven or knit fabric comprising the bulked yarn is more lightweight, more voluminous, softer with an excellent touch, and better in heat-insulating properties and air permeability, has greater anti-pilling properties, sheds no fluff, and has better rapid-drying properties despite having great water absorbency. | 02-14-2013 |
