Hydroentangled woven fabric

A hydroentangled woven fabric, comprising:

• a plurality of warp yarns;
• a plurality of weft yarns interwoven with the plurality of warp yarns to define the hydroentangled woven fabric having a first side and a second side opposite the first side;
• a plurality of interstitial spaces between the plurality of warp yarns and the plurality of weft yarns, wherein the plurality of warp yarns and the plurality of weft yarns are hydroentangled around the interstitial spaces;
• and
• a thickness that extends in a direction from the first side of the hydroentangled woven fabric to the second side of the hydroentangled woven fabric,
• wherein the thickness and hydroentangled warp and weft yarns give rise to a moisture wicking hydroentangled woven fabric having a wicking distance of at least 5.0 centimeters during a time period of five minutes according to test method AATCC 197, the hydroentangled woven fabric having a basis weight between 100 grams per square meter and 400 grams per square meter for the thickness that ranges between 0.5 mm and 1.5 mm.

A hydroentangled woven fabric, comprising:

• a plurality of warp yarns having a warp end density between about 150 ends per inch and about 350 ends per inch;
• a plurality of weft yarns interwoven with the plurality of warp yarns to define the hydroentangled woven fabric having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the plurality of weft yarns having a weft end density between about 100 weft yarns per inch and about 700 weft yarns per inch;
• a plurality of interstitial spaces between the plurality of warp yarns and the plurality of weft yarns, wherein the plurality of warp yarns and the plurality of weft yarns are hydroentangled around the interstitial spaces;
• and
• a thickness that extends in a direction from the first side of the hydroentangled woven fabric to the second side of the hydroentangled woven fabric,
• wherein the thickness and hydroentangled warp and weft yarns give rise to a moisture wicking hydroentangled woven fabric having a wicking distance of at least 5.0 centimeters during a time period of five minutes according to test method AATCC 197.
