Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of textiles, and more particularly to a double knit fabric with one side coarse and the other side fine. [Background technology]

[0002] As apparel designers have increasingly higher requirements for knitted fabrics, double knitted fabrics have begun to be used in the market. Generally, double knitted fabrics have soft texture, moisture absorption and breathability, excellent elasticity, stretchability and productivity.

[0003] There are different knitting methods for single-sided and double-sided knitted fabrics, including close knitting and net knitting. The double layers of net knitted fabrics can be separated, but those knitted with close knitting cannot be separated and only feel thick. Single-sided fabrics are generally called weft-flat weaves, and are similar to double-sided rib (fluff) weaves. Generally, double-knitted fabrics have the same surface on both sides, but in actual use, if the double-knitted fabric is used as outerwear, the back side will not fit snugly against the skin, making it uncomfortable. If the double-knitted fabric is used as innerwear, it will look like underwear, requiring an extra layer of outerwear when going out. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the above technical problems and provide a double-knitted fabric with a rough surface on one side and a fine surface on the other. The surface of this double-knitted fabric has the rough, firm, smooth texture and modern feel of outerwear, while the back side has a fine, comfortable texture that feels comfortable against the skin like underwear and has a heat-retaining effect. This double-knitted fabric simultaneously combines the effects of two different materials. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the technical solutions used are as follows:

[0007] The double knitted fabric has a surface knitted with 50S / 1 silo-spun acrylic and rayon blended yarn, which gives the surface a coarser texture, firmer and smoother feel, and a modern feel. The back is knitted with 26S compact spun pure cotton yarn, which gives the back a delicate and comfortable feel like underwear, and has a warming effect. The third course perforation acts as a transition between the perforations on the surface and back, so the double knitted fabric has two different fabric effects, and also has a certain elasticity between the front and back.

[0008] In a preferred implementation, the perforated yarn of said third course is 40D spandex.

[0009] In a further preferred embodiment, the coil length of said 40D spandex is 110MM / 100G.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the coil length of the silo-spun acrylic-rayon blended yarn is 290MM / 100G.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the compact spun cotton yarn is subjected to a yarn steaming treatment using a yarn steaming device.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the coil length of said compact spun cotton yarn is 185MM / 100G.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the backside of the double knitted fabric is perforated using the fourth course, and the perforated 26S compact spun pure cotton yarn is fed as a double yarn.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the bed size of the double knitting machine is 34 inches.

[0015] In a further preferred embodiment, the cylinder diameter of the double knitting machine is 34 inches. [Effects of the Invention]

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The surface of this double-knitted fabric has the coarse, firm, smooth texture and modern feel of outerwear, while the back has a delicate, comfortable texture that feels like underwear and has heat-retaining properties. This double-knitted fabric simultaneously combines the effects of two different materials, and the specific values ​​for the heat-retaining properties of this invention have been determined to be a maximum temperature rise of 8.5°C for moisture absorption and heat generation, an average temperature rise of 3.2°C within 30 minutes, and a surface hydrophobicity of grade 4.
