A method for producing tassel fabric Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the textile field, and in particular to a method for producing tassel fabrics. Background Technology
[0002] Existing tassel textiles can generally only be made from straight yarns, or multiple yarns can be left for later hand weaving. Hand-woven tassels offer a wider variety of patterns, but are very inefficient. Tassels made from straight yarns have a simple structure and lack distinctive features. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a method for producing a tassel fabric that can be made into various styles.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is: a method for producing tassel fabric, comprising the following steps:
[0005] Weaving the main body,
[0006] The edge block is woven at one end of the main body to form a fabric blank. The edge block includes a first woven block and a second woven block woven from a second water-soluble yarn. There are several first woven blocks, and several first woven blocks are arranged in a row. A second woven block is provided between two adjacent first woven blocks.
[0007] Dissolving: The fabric blank is placed in hot water that can dissolve the second water-soluble yarn, causing the second fabric block to dissolve.
[0008] The first piece of fabric is curled inwards to form tassels, and the fabric blank is transformed into a tassel fabric.
[0009] The edge pieces are woven using a second water-soluble yarn and water-insoluble yarn, making them easier to shape. After the edge pieces are shaped, the second water-soluble yarn is dissolved in hot water to form multiple strips of the first woven fabric. These strips are then curled from the left and right sides towards the center to form rod-shaped, S-shaped, or spiral-shaped tassels. The produced tassels are no longer just simple straight yarns, allowing for a wider variety of styles.
[0010] Preferably, the first woven block has a first row of yarn loops on one side and a second row of yarn loops on the other side.
[0011] When the first piece of fabric is curled, both sides of the first piece of fabric curl towards the middle until the first yarn loop on one side intersects with the second yarn loop on the other side. After the left and right sides of the first piece of fabric are curled, the first and second yarn loops intersect to form a long tube with a zipper.
[0012] Preferably, the first woven block includes a first yarn, a third yarn, and a fourth yarn. The first yarn is used as the warp yarn and the third yarn is used as the weft yarn to weave a base fabric. The fourth yarn is arranged on the base fabric as a weft yarn. The floating point number of the fourth yarn on the front side of the base fabric is greater than the floating point number on the back side of the base fabric.
[0013] The fourth yarn is a heat-shrinkable yarn. During the crimping step, the fourth yarn shrinks when heated, causing the first fabric block to crimp. When the second fabric block is dissolved in hot water, the fourth yarn shrinks when heated. The content of the fourth yarn on the front and back of the first fabric block is different. When the fourth yarn shrinks, it causes the front and back of the first fabric block to shrink at different rates, resulting in the first fabric block crimping.
[0014] Preferably, after the weaving of the edge pieces and before the dissolving step, the following steps are also included:
[0015] Embroidery involves using embroidery thread to create an embroidered pattern on a border piece. The center of the embroidered pattern is located on the first piece, and the two sides of the embroidered pattern extend to the second pieces on either side of the first piece. The embroidered pattern can curl as the first piece is curled, wrapping around the first piece to form a sleeve-shaped tassel.
[0016] Preferably, the embroidery pattern is a hollow pattern, the first woven block includes a main piece and a secondary piece, the main piece extends along the length of the first woven block, the secondary piece is located on the side of the main piece, and the secondary piece is woven from a first water-soluble yarn, the dissolution temperature of the first water-soluble yarn in water is higher than the dissolution temperature of the second water-soluble yarn;
[0017] During the embroidery process, the embroidery pattern is simultaneously located on both the main piece and the interlocking pieces;
[0018] In the curling step, the two sides of the first fabric block with the embroidered pattern are curled towards the center to form a tassel blank. The fabric with the tassel blank is then placed in a second hot water bath to dissolve the interlayers, and the dissolved tassel blank forms the tassel. After dissolving the interlayers of the first fabric block, a hollowed-out tubular tassel can be formed. Moreover, the embroidery pattern is first embroidered on the edge block, allowing the hollowed-out embroidery pattern to curl with the first fabric block. This prevents the embroidery pattern from becoming skewed during the curling process. After the embroidery pattern is curled and shaped, the interlayers of the first fabric block are dissolved, making the interior of the curled hollowed-out embroidery pattern hollow.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention dissolves the excess portion of the woven edge piece with water to form a row of strips of fabric. Then, the fabric strips are curled due to the different shrinkage rates of the front and back sides to form tassels of various shapes. The produced tassels are no longer simply straight yarns; embroidered patterns can also be attached to the tassels, resulting in a wider variety of styles. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0029] Example 1:
[0030] As shown in Figure 1, the present invention provides a method for producing tassel fabric, comprising the following steps:
[0031] S1 weaves the main body of the fabric using regular yarn;
[0032] S2 is a woven edge block, formed by weaving edge block 2 at one end of the main body 1 to create a fabric blank. Edge block 2 includes a first woven block 21 and a second woven block 22 woven from a second water-soluble yarn. There are several first woven blocks 21 arranged in a row, with a second woven block 22 placed between two adjacent first woven blocks 21. The first woven blocks 21 and the second woven blocks 22 are woven together as one piece.
[0033] S3 Dissolution: The fabric blank is placed in hot water that can dissolve the second water-soluble yarn, causing the second fabric block to dissolve. After the second fabric block dissolves, several long strips of the first fabric block remain, arranged in a row. One end of each first fabric block is connected to the main body.
[0034] S4 curling: the side of the first woven block 21 is curled towards the middle to form tassel 23, and the fabric blank becomes tassel fabric.
[0035] Example 2:
[0036] As shown in Figures 1-2, the present invention provides a method for producing tassel fabric, comprising the following steps:
[0037] S1 weaves the main body of the fabric using regular yarn;
[0038] S2 is a woven edge block, formed by weaving edge block 2 at one end of the main body 1 to create a fabric blank. Edge block 2 includes a first woven block 21 and a second woven block 22 woven from a second water-soluble yarn. There are several first woven blocks 21 arranged in a row, with a second woven block 22 placed between two adjacent first woven blocks 21. The first woven blocks 21 and the second woven blocks 22 are woven together as one piece.
[0039] A first row of yarn loops 211 is provided on one side of the first woven block 21, and a second row of yarn loops 212 is provided on the other side of the first woven block.
[0040] S3 Dissolution: The fabric blank is placed in hot water that can dissolve the second water-soluble yarn, causing the second fabric block to dissolve. After the second fabric block dissolves, several long strips of the first fabric block remain, arranged in a row. One end of each first fabric block is connected to the main body.
[0041] S4 curls the fabric by curling the sides of the first woven block 21 toward the center to form tassels 23, thus transforming the fabric blank into a tassel fabric. The first woven block 21 includes a first yarn, a third yarn, and a fourth yarn. The first yarn is used as the warp yarn, the third yarn is used as the weft yarn to weave the base fabric, and the fourth yarn is woven onto the base fabric as a weft yarn.
[0042] As shown in Figures 5 and 6, the floating-point number of the fourth yarn 215 on the front side of the base fabric is greater than that on the back side, or the area of the fourth yarn 215 on the front side of the base fabric is greater than that on the back side. The fourth yarn is a heat-shrinkable yarn, which can be spandex core-spun yarn. Immersing the fabric blank in hot water causes the fourth yarn to shrink due to heat. The different distribution area or quantity of the fourth yarn on the front and back sides of the first fabric block causes the first fabric block to curl towards the side with the greater shrinkage rate.
[0043] As shown in Figure 2, both sides of the first fabric block 21 are curled towards the middle until the first yarn loop 211 on one side intersects with the second yarn loop 212 on the other side. A sewing thread is passed through the first and second yarn loops to fix the two sides of the first fabric block together.
[0044] Example 3:
[0045] As shown in Figure 1, the present invention provides a method for producing tassel fabric, comprising the following steps:
[0046] S1 weaves the main body of the fabric using regular yarn;
[0047] S2 is a woven edge block, formed by weaving edge block 2 at one end of the main body 1 to create a fabric blank. Edge block 2 includes a first woven block 21 and a second woven block 22 woven from a second water-soluble yarn. There are several first woven blocks 21 arranged in a row, with a second woven block 22 placed between two adjacent first woven blocks 21. The first woven blocks 21 and the second woven blocks 22 are woven together as one piece.
[0048] As shown in Figures 3-4, the first woven block 21 includes a main piece 213 and a secondary piece 214. The main piece 213 extends along the length of the first woven block, and the secondary piece is located on the side of the main piece. The secondary piece 214 is woven from a first water-soluble yarn, and the main piece is woven from yarn that is insoluble in hot water. The dissolution temperature of the first water-soluble yarn in water is higher than that of the second water-soluble yarn.
[0049] S3 embroidery involves embroidering an embroidered pattern 24 on the edge piece using embroidery thread. The embroidery pattern is a cutout pattern, with its center located on the first woven piece 21. The embroidery pattern 24 is also embroidered on both the main piece 213 and the interlocking piece 214. The two sides of the embroidery pattern 24 extend to the second woven pieces on both sides of the first woven piece. There are multiple embroidery patterns, which are arranged along the length of the first woven piece 21.
[0050] S4 Dissolution: The fabric blank is placed in hot water that can dissolve the second water-soluble yarn but not the first water-soluble yarn, causing the second fabric block to dissolve. After the second fabric block dissolves, several long strips of the first fabric block remain, arranged in a row. One end of each first fabric block is connected to the main body.
[0051] S5 curls the first woven block 21, curling its sides toward the center to form tassels 23, thus transforming the fabric blank into a tassel fabric. The two sides of the first woven block 21 with embroidered patterns are curled toward the center to form tassel blanks. The fabric with tassel blanks is then placed in a second hot water bath to dissolve the interlayer 214. The embroidery thread in the embroidery pattern is embroidery thread mixed with heat-melting yarn. The second hot water can heat-melt the heat-melting yarn in the embroidery pattern. The tassel blanks formed after the interlayers have dissolved are now tassels.
[0052] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of the present invention. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the claims of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the present invention.
