Abstract
The invention relates to a yarn containing siliconized micro-denier polyester fibers and macro-denier fibers. The blending ratio of the siliconized micro-denier polyester fibers and macro-denier fibers in the yarn ranges between about 10 to about 90 and about 90 to about 10 percent by weight. The macro-denier fiber of the yarn is selected from the group consisting of a synthetic fiber, a natural fiber, and a combination of synthetic and natural fibers. The invention also relates to a woven or knitted fabric and articles of clothing containing the yarn of the invention, either alone or in combination with other yarns.
Claims26
A yarn, comprising:
- a. siliconized micro-denier polyester fibers having a denier of 0.5 to 1.0;
- b. non-siliconized macro-denier fibers having a denier of greater than 1.0;
- and
- c. siliconized synthetic macro-denier fibers having a denier from 1.2 to 1.5;
- wherein a blending ratio of the siliconized micro-denier polyester fibers to the non-siliconized and siliconized macro-denier fibers in the yarn ranges from 10 to 90 to 20 to 80 percent by weight, and
- wherein said yarn is a spun yarn or a worsted yarn.
