Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of textile recycling and reuse technology, and in particular to a reweaving process based on the recycling of scrap fabric. Background Technology

[0002] The textile and apparel industry generates a large amount of scrap material during production, most of which is difficult to recycle directly. Lightweight fabrics such as silk organza have low strength and are prone to fraying and deformation, making them unsuitable for traditional recycling processes. Conventional fabric strip splicing methods are prone to loosening and lack continuity, failing to meet the stability requirements of the woven structure. Existing technologies lack a complete solution that integrates connection, weaving, and decoration, resulting in low utilization of waste fabrics and insufficient performance of recycled products. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and propose a reweaving process based on the recycling of scrap fabric.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a reweaving process method based on recycled fabric scraps, comprising the following steps:

[0005] S1: Classify and screen the scrap fabric, and select fabric fragments with a length of not less than 10cm.

[0006] S2: Cut the fabric segment to form a strip of fabric with a width of 1cm–1.5cm;

[0007] S3: Use a cross knot to tie and connect the fabric strips to form a continuous fabric thread;

[0008] S4: Leave a 3cm-5cm free end at each connection point and keep it on the outside of the woven structure to form a feather-like or tassel-like three-dimensional decorative effect;

[0009] S5: Organize and wind the connected strips of fabric into a spool structure;

[0010] S6: Using the fabric strip as the weaving material, fabrics or structural components are made using a crochet weaving process that includes short and long needles, and the weaving density and structural form can be adjusted.

[0011] Preferably, when the fabric is silk organza, the cutting process is carried out along the edge of the fabric to maintain the continuity of the strips.

[0012] Preferably, for twill or bias-weave silk organza fabrics, the strip cutting width is approximately 2cm to improve the stability of the weave structure.

[0013] The rewoven structure product prepared by the method comprises a structure formed by connecting scrap fabric strips with cross knots and crochet, and the connecting knots have exposed free ends to form a three-dimensional decorative effect.

[0014] Preferably, the product is clothing, and the rewoven structure is used as the main body of the fabric, a partial structure, or a decorative component.

[0015] Preferably, the product is footwear, and the rewoven structure is used as an upper material, decorative structure, or partial functional component.

[0016] Preferably, the product is a bag, and the rewoven structure is used as a bag body material, a partial splicing structure, or a decorative layer.

[0017] Preferably, the product is an accessory, including hair ornaments, jewelry, or decorative accessories, at least a portion of which is composed of the rewoven structure.

[0018] Preferably, the rewoven structure can be applied to clothing, footwear, bags, and accessories.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0020] This invention enables the efficient reuse of scrap fabric, reduces resource waste, and meets green and environmental protection requirements.

[0021] The cross knot is a secure, unbreakable connection that ensures the continuity of the wire and the structural strength.

[0022] The reserved free end forms a unique three-dimensional decoration, enhancing the design expressiveness and product added value;

[0023] We offer specialized treatment solutions for silk organza, addressing the issues of easy deformation and poor stability in lightweight fabrics. The process is simple and can be done by hand, making it suitable for various applications such as clothing, footwear, bags, and accessories. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the process flow for a re-weaving process based on recycled fabric scraps proposed in this invention. Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0026] Example 1: Recycling and reweaving conventional woven / knitted fabric scraps (garment decorative fabrics)

[0027] Raw material selection: Collect scraps of common garment fabrics such as cotton, polyester, and blends, and remove stains, damage, mildew, and fragments shorter than 10cm. Sort and group them by color and material to ensure the consistency of appearance in subsequent weaving.

[0028] Fabric strip cutting: Straighten and flatten the qualified fabric fragments along the warp and weft directions, and use a cutting tool to cut them into uniform strips with a width of 1.2cm. The edges should be free of burrs and tears, and the length direction should be continuous.

[0029] Fabric strip connection: Use a cross knot to connect the ends: cross the ends of the two fabric strips, loop them around one by one, and tighten them to form a strong knot; leave a 4cm free end at each knot, with the same orientation.

[0030] Thread preparation: Comb the connected continuous strips of fabric along a straight line to remove wrinkles and twists, and evenly wind them onto a spool to form a strip of fabric that can be directly machined or hand-woven.

[0031] Crochet: Use a 3.0mm crochet hook and single crochet as the basic stitch for flat knitting. Control the stitch spacing to be uniform. During the knitting process, place all reserved free ends on the outside of the fabric and do not knit them into the main structure.

[0032] Finishing: The woven fabric is flattened, lightly steamed to set its shape, and the free ends are trimmed to a uniform length to form a recycled decorative fabric with a feather-like three-dimensional texture, which can be used for garment bodies, skirts, cuffs, and other parts.

[0033] Example 2: Recycling and reweaving of silk organza scraps (lightweight decorative structure)

[0034] Raw material selection: Select scraps of silk organza, requiring no serious snagging or damage, with a fragment length of not less than 10cm, and classify them according to color and yarn direction.

[0035] Directional cutting: Cut along the warp direction of the fabric edge to avoid lateral pulling that could cause snags; for organza segments with a twill / twill direction, cut uniformly into 2cm wide strips to improve tensile strength and structural stability.

[0036] Strengthen the connection: Use a cross knot to tie a dead knot with moderate tension to prevent tearing of the fabric; leave a 4cm free end at the knot to maintain a light and flowing feel.

[0037] Thread forming: Gently comb the continuous strips of fabric to avoid excessive stretching, and wind them into lightweight spools for easy and delicate hand weaving.

[0038] Fine knitting: Using a 2.5mm fine crochet hook, the knitting technique combines long crochet and spaced crochet stitches to reduce density and retain a sense of transparency; the free ends are all exposed to form a light, feather-like decorative layer.

[0039] Setting process: Low-temperature steaming and shaping, without heavy pressure or rubbing, to maintain the original crispness and flow of the silk organza. The resulting structure can be used for dress decorations, headscarves, hair accessories, shoe accessories, etc.

[0040] Example 3: Rewoven fabric scraps used for bag body (durable and practical)

[0041] Raw material selection: Use durable fabrics such as denim, canvas, and thick polyester, with a length of ≥10cm to ensure overall strength.

[0042] Cutting and connecting: Cut into strips 1.5cm wide, tie with a cross knot, leaving a 3cm short free end at the knot to balance decoration and durability.

[0043] High-density knitting: Using 3.5mm crochet hooks, the knitting is done in a close-knit single crochet pattern to improve the structural compactness and load-bearing capacity.

[0044] Composite molding: The woven fabric is combined with the lining fabric to improve its stiffness. It is used to make the main body of the bag, the decorative layer of the bag surface, the handles, etc., which are sturdy, durable and have a unique texture.

[0045] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments that can be applied to other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
