Abstract
A composite low-twist towel that is formed of three parts: terry yarn, ground warp yarn and weft yarn. The ground warp yarn and the weft yarn are normal towel yarns and the terry yarn is a composite low-twist yarn. The composite low-twist yarn is composed of two yarns of different thickness, among them, the spun yarn is synthetic fiber spun yarn or filament yarn, and the thick yarn is the pure cotton yarn or the blended yarn of pure cotton and other fibers. The composite low-twist yarn is made into a warp beam through warping and sizing. Then, it interweaves with ground warp yarns and weft yarns through a towel loom or warp loom to form terry fabrics.
Claims22

- wherein a twist of the fine yarn is 130t/10 cm and twist directions of the fine yarn and the thick yarn are both Z-direction twist.
A composite low-twist yarn towel, comprising:
- a terry yarn;
- a ground warp yarn and a weft yarn;
- wherein the terry yarn comprises a composite low-twist yarn that is composed of first and second yarns of different thickness, the first yarn comprising a fine yarn that is a regenerated cellulose fiber yarn or a filament yarn, and a weight of the fine yarn is not higher than 14.5 g/km, and the second yarn is a thick yarn that is a pure cotton yarn, a weight of the thick yarn is not less than 36.4 g/km, and the twist factor of the thick yarn is not more than 258.
A method of producing a composite low-twist yarn product comprising the steps of:
- forming a terry yarn that comprises a composite low-twist yarn that is composed of first and second yarns of different thickness, the first yarn comprising a fine count yarn that is a synthetic fiber spun yarn or a filament yarn with a weight not higher than 27.8 g/km, and the second yarn is a thick count yarn that is a pure cotton yarn or a blended yarn with pure cotton and other fibers with a weight not less than 18.2 g/km, and the twist factor of the thick count yarn is not higher than 295;
- and
- warping a ground warp yarn and the composite low-twist yarn that serves as a low-twist pile warp yarn;
- and
- weaving on a towel loom or a warp loom using the ground warp yarn, the composite low-twist yarn and a weft yarn to form the low-twist yarn product, and
- wherein a twist of the fine count yarn is 130t/10 cm and twist directions of the fine count yarn and the thick count yarn are both Z-direction twist.
A method of producing a composite low-twist yarn product comprising the steps of:
- forming a terry yarn that comprises a composite low-twist yarn that is composed of first and second yarns of different thickness, the first yarn comprising a fine count yarn that is a synthetic fiber spun yarn or a filament yarn with a weight not higher than 27.8 g/km, and the second yarn is a thick count yarn that is a pure cotton yarn or a blended yarn with pure cotton and other fibers with a weight not less than 18.2 g/km, and the twist factor of the thick count yarn is not higher than 295;
- and
- warping a ground warp yarn and the composite low-twist yarn that serves as a low-twist pile warp yarn;
- and
- weaving on a towel loom or a warp loom using the ground warp yarn, the composite low-twist yarn and a weft yarn to form the low-twist yarn product;
- wherein the step of forming the terry yarn comprises the steps of:
- spinning the fine-count yarn with a twist direction of the spun fine-count yarn being in a first direction;
- spinning the thick count yarn with a twist direction of the spun thick count yarn being the first direction;
- combining the spun fine count yarn and the spun thick count yarn on a doubling machine to form a combined yarn;
- and twisting the combined yarn in a second direction that is opposite to the first direction to form the twisted combined yarn that comprises the terry yarn;
- winding the twisted combined yarn and preparing the twisted combined yarn for dyeing or warping;
- wherein the sliver twist from the false twist device to the output roller and from the false twist device and a wire ring of the spinning frame is substantially increased, a spinning triangle is eliminated, a speed of false twist device is separately controlled by a servo motor, wherein a sliver output from the front roller forms an included angle through the false twist device, showing arc-shaped contact;
- setting a specific linear speed ratio for the output linear speed of the false twist device and the front roller between 1.2-1.5.
A method of producing a composite low-twist yarn towel, comprising the steps of:
- (i) using a spinning device to spin a fine-count yarn that comprises a synthetic staple fiber or a regenerated cellulose fiber or mixtures thereof, wherein a weight of the spun fine-count yarn is not more than 27.8 g/km, and a twisting direction of the spun fine-count yarn is not fixed;
- (ii) spinning a thick-count yarn using the spinning device to conduct opening, removing impurities, combing and drawing to a cotton fiber or a mixed fiber of cotton and other fibers to form a thick yarn sliver, wherein a weight of spun thick-count yarn is not less than 18.2 g/km, and the twist factor of the spun thick yarn spun is not higher than 295;
- and wherein a twist direction of the spun thick-count yarn is the same twist direction as the spun fine-count yarn of step (i);
- (iii) combining the spun fine-count and spun thick-count yarns formed in steps (i) and (ii) on a doubling machine;
- (iv) twisting the combined yarn of step (iii) in an opposite twist direction as that of the thick-count yarn and fine-count yarn spun in steps (i) and (ii) to form a terry yarn, wherein a number of twists of the composite low-twist yarn is no higher than 30 per decimeter;
- (v) conduct winding for the yarns made in step (iv), and prepare for dyeing or warping;
- and
- (vi) weaving on a towel loom or a warp loom the ground warp yarn, the terry yarn and a weft yarn to form the composite low-twist yarn towel.
