Towel cloth and manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

There are provided a towel cloth having a favorable uprightness of a pile, having a soft and bulky texture, and having a water absorbency in combination, and a manufacturing method thereof. The towel cloth is configured such that a warp pile yarn is engaged in a warp ground yarn and a weft ground yarn. The warp pile yarn is a siro spun yarn 19, and is a nontwisted or low twisted spun yarn applied with secondary twisting in the opposite direction to the primary twisting direction of a plurality of rovings 12a and 12b, namely, the untwisting direction. The twisting habit of primary twisting and migration of primary twisting cause entanglement between fibers. In addition, each fiber is a nontwisted yarn or a low twisted yarn, and hence each constituent fiber is present in a free state. This results in a pile yarn with a favorable uprightness and a soft and bulky texture.
