A method comprising:
- obtaining one or more polyester and spandex materials from external sources, wherein
- a specificity of the polyester and spandex materials is identified before obtaining the one or more polyester and spandex materials from the external sources;
- combining the one or more polyester and spandex materials in one or more knitting
- processes to create an outer fabric;
- obtaining a plurality of surface yarns and a spandex yarn from additional external sources, wherein a specificity of the surface yarns is identified before being obtained from the additional external sources;
- and
- combining the plurality of surface yarns and spandex yarn into an inner filling;
- and
- placing the inner filling into the outer fabric to form a throw fabric.
A method comprising:
- configuring a knitting device at an initial position;
- positioning polyester and spandex materials within the knitting device, wherein a
- specific percentage of polyester and spandex are identified before positioning the polyester and spandex materials within the knitting device;
- placing surface yarns and spandex yarns within the knitted device, wherein a ratio of the surface and spandex yarns are identified before placing the surface yarns and spandex yarns within the knitting device;
- and
- producing a throw fabric in which the surface yarns are combined with the spandex yarns are positioned within an outer fabric consisting of the polyester and spandex materials.
A method comprising:
- obtaining a ratio of spandex material and polyester material, wherein a percentage of
- the spandex material and polyester material is identified in one or more intervals;
- obtaining a plurality of surface yarns and a spandex yarn after obtaining the spandex and polyester materials, wherein a ratio of the surface yarns and the spandex yarn is identified;
- combining the spandex material and polyester material into an outer fabric to receive an inner filling comprised of the surface yarns and spandex yarn, wherein the surface yarns and spandex yarn are combined to form the inner filing;
- and
- performing a dyeing or bleaching procedure on the outer fabric.
A method of manufacturing a reversible comfort throw blanket, comprises:
- (a) forming a knitted outer fabric by knitting a yarn composition comprising polyester to produce a knitted fabric layer;
- (b) finishing the knitted outer fabric by brushing and shearing the knitted fabric layer to form a softened outer surface;
- (c) providing an inner filling comprising polyester fiber batting;
- (d) assembling the knitted outer fabric and the inner filling such that the throw blanket has opposing first and second outer surfaces configured for reversible use;
- and
- (e) securing the knitted outer fabric to the inner filling by stitching or quilting through the knitted outer fabric and the inner filling to form a finished throw blanket.
