The present application relates to the field of textiles, and particularly relates to a functional chenille knitted fabric and a preparation method thereof. The fabric yarns of the chenille knitted fabric include first yarns, second yarns and third yarns. The knitted fabric includes an inner layer, an intermediate layer and an outer layer. The first yarns, the second yarns and the third yarns jointly form the inner layer of the knitted fabric. The first yarns and the second yarns jointly form the intermediate layer of the knitted fabric. The first yarns alone form the outer layer of the knitted fabric. The first yarns are modified chenille yarns. The core yarns of the modified chenille yarns are profiled cross-section modified
polyester fiber or
polyamide fiber yarns. The
feather yarns of the modified chenille yarns are blended or pure hydrophilic
fiber yarns. The second yarns are
elastic fiber yarn cover yarns. The knitted fabric has comfortable elasticity and is not tight. The knitted fabric is not prone to deformation and affects the appearance of the garment after long-term wearing. The knitted fabric has excellent anti-pilling and anti-
snagging properties, good air permeability and
moisture permeability, and good warmth retention. The knitted fabric has durable
moisture absorption, quick
drying and one-way
moisture transfer functions.
