Processes for forming embossed terry towels and the resulting towels are described herein. The towels have an uneven surface. Thus, the background can be at one height, and the design can be at another height, which is typically higher than the background. The process involves twisting the pile warp that will be used for the design on the towel with PVA filament yarn. The remaining pile warp, which is used to form the background, is 100% cotton. The pile warp is then woven with the ground warp and weft warp to form the towel. The towel is subject to a steaming process, which shrinks the PVA/cotton pile fibers, but does not affect the 100% cotton fibers. The PVA/cotton pile fibers shrink to at least about 50% of their original length under tension free conditions. The towel is then subjected to shearing to produce a velour texture. Due to the shrinkage of the PVA/cotton pile yarns, only the background (100% cotton) pile is cut, and the shrunk pile remains uncut. This towel is then washed in water a high temperature to dissolve the PVA yarns. In the preferred embodiment the temperature of the water is in the range of 55-95null C. This washing dissolves the PVA component in the PVA twisted pile, thereby lifting the uncut pile to its full height. The resulting towel has a sheared background, which produces a velvet effect, and an uncut design, thereby producing an embossing effect on background. |

A suede-like woven fabric exhibiting a superior resilient elasticity and superior bulkiness may be obtained by a method in which an ultrafine filament yarn, which contains sea and island components having considerably different solubilities to alkali, is mixed with a hollow, high-shrinkable yarn having a greater fineness than the ultrafine filament yarn. The mixed yarn is used as warp and/or weft, thereby obtaining a gray which is then treated to eliminate easy-soluble components. After completing such a micronization, the gray is subjected to a continuous process including a sanding treatment and a dyeing treatment. |

Apparatus for removing a fill yarn from a web of warp tows advances the web lengthwise across a tabletop having opposite pairs of bars at the leading edge thereof for separating the outermost tow at each of the opposite edges of the web from the remaining tows within the web. Rotatable cutting wheels which are resiliently urged against the top of a rotating shaft at the underside of the web sever the fill yarn between the outermost tows and the remaining tows of the web to form separate fill yarn lengths extending across the width of the web. As the advancing web is then divided along a central portion thereof, the separate lengths of fill yarn are removed by a hook mounted within a central portion of the tabletop and reciprocating between positions above and below the tabletop so as to hook each separate length of fill yarn and begin pulling it down through the tabletop. As each length of fill yarn is pulled down through the tabletop by the hook, it is engaged by a pair of opposing rollers and pulled into the inside of a hollow duct where an air stream carries the length of fill yarn away for disposal. |

A woven sheeting fabric is provided with a variety of unusual and visually appealing decorative patterned effects by forming in the fabric open, shear areas of various size and shape having an appearance contrasting with adjacent, substantially heavier areas. The fabric comprises warp and weft yarns of corespun construction interwoven with one another to form a substantially uniform woven fabric construction. Each of the corespun warp and weft yarns has a continuous multifilament core portion and a sheath portion formed of staple fibers helically wrapped about the core portion to substantially surround and encase the same. The portions of the corespun warp and weft yarns which extend throughout the sheer areas of the fabric have the multifilament core portions thereof exposed and are substantially devoid of sheath fibers and are thus smaller than adjacent portions of the yarns in the heavier areas of the fabric, and the sheer areas of the fabric are thus thinner than the adjacent heavier areas to provide further contrast with the heavier areas. |

A fiber-reinforced plastic structure is obtained by weaving fibers in one direction about one or more spacing members located angularly to the fibers. The fibers may be either warp or woof stands, the spacing member serving as woof when the fibers from warp strands, and as warp when the fibers form woof strands. The removal of the spacing member leaves relatively large open channels forming, in effect, a multi-wall hollow structure. The resultant structure may be partially or completely treated with a plastic resin system prior to or after the removal of some or all of the members. The solidified resin reinforced structure may be filled with a foam-in-place plastic, and it may be stacked in layers to provide additional thickness with reinforcing fibers running in different directions for additional strength. Some fibers may extend from one ply into an adjacent ply or into more remote plies. The hardened structure may also be stacked to provide a honeycomb configuration and may be sliced into thin sections with sheets of additional fiber-reinforced plastic material on each side or each end to produce a structure of high strength-to-weight characteristics. |
