Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a knitted fabric, and more
particularly to yarns dyed with indigo blue and fabrics or clothes
made of the dyed yarns.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] In general, fabrics used for textiles and garments are
divided into three main types: woven fabrics, needle fabrics and
non-woven fabrics.
[0003] The woven fabrics are fabrics formed by interweaving warps
and wefts which are perpendicular to each other, and the basic
weaves include plane weave, twill weave and satin weave, and the
woven fabrics are made by the aforementioned three main types of
basic fabrics and various different interweaving methods.
[0004] The woven fabric is divided into a warp (in the vertical
direction) and a weft (in a transverse direction), and the warps
and wefts of a woven fabric may be interlaced in a one-up-one-down
pattern, and the warps and wefts of the twill fabric may be
interlaced in various different patterns such as a two-up-one-down
pattern and a three-up-one-down patterns, and the woven fabric has
twills, and the angle of the twills varies with different weaving
methods, and the twill fabric is one type of woven fabrics, but the
weaving method is different and requires an additional
manufacturing process, so that the texture of the twill fabric is
stronger and will not be damaged easily, and the fabric is
relatively thicker and heavier. Denim fabric is also a twill
fabric. Basically, the twill fabric is more durable than the woven
fabric, and the twill fabric is thicker than the woven fabric, and
these properties depend on the yarn material and yarn thickness. As
to durability, the twill fabric is more durable and wear-resisting.
In addition, the woven fabric has a high permeability. For example,
a shirt is made of a woven fabric with approximate 30-40 yarns, so
that the texture is lighter and softer than the twill fabric.
[0005] The knitted fabric is formed by winding the yarns into a
coil by a needle, and then the coils are connected serially. Since
the structure of the coils of knitwear has a greater yarn storage
capacity per unit length, therefore such knitted fabric has an
excellent elasticity, and the knitted fabric is roughly divided
into two main types: warp knitting and weft knitting.
[0006] The knitted fabric comes with a soft touch and still has
flexibility in a structure without elastic fibers, so that the
knitted fabric is suitable for manufacturing sportswear, sports
pants and vests. Meanwhile, the woven fabric is relatively more
rigid, and thus completely having no elasticity in a yarn structure
without elastic fibers, so that the woven fabric is more suitable
for making jackets and shirts.
[0007] The texture may be dyed at different stages such as the
stages of fibers, yarns, fabrics and garments.
[0008] For top dying, the loose fibers are dyed before the yarns
are woven, wherein the loose fibers are placed into a dye tank and
dyed at an appropriate temperature, and the purpose of dying the
loose fibers is intended for obtaining a soft color mixing
effect.
[0009] For yarn dying, the yarns are dyed before the fabric is
woven, and the yarn dying is usually applied to color fabrics and
wool sweaters.
[0010] For cloth dying, the whole piece of cloth is dyed, and the
commonly used methods include rope dying, spray dying, roll dying,
pad dying and beam dying.
[0011] For garment dying, the garment is place into a nylon bag,
and a series of bags are put into a dying tank and stirred
continuously in the dying tank. The garment dying is usually
applicable for dying simple garments such as knitwear, sweaters,
pants and shirts.
[0012] The aforementioned woven fabric is relatively more rigid and
the color is relatively simpler, and the weaving pattern is in
stripes. Up to now, there is no aesthetic fabric with a soft
texture, comfortable touch, and natural color available in market
yet.
[0013] In view of the aforementioned shortcomings of the prior art,
the inventor of the present invention based on years of experience
in the related industry to conduct extensive researches and
experiments, and finally designed and developed a knitting fabric
to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0014] Therefore, it is a primary objective of the present
invention to overcome the problems of the prior art by providing a
knitted fabric which is a dyed yarn dyed with an indigo blue dye,
and the dyed yarn is knitted to form a fabric structure or clothes
with soft texture, comfortable touch, mild color and natural
style.
[0015] To achieve the aforementioned objective, the present
invention provides a knitted fabric structure that uses an indigo
blue dye to dye loose fibers and the loose fibers are woven to form
a dyed yarn, and the yarn formed by the top is woven to form a dyed
yarn, and the dyed yarn are worsen to form the fabric
structure.
[0016] The present invention further provides another knitted
fabric, wherein an indigo blue dye is used for dying a yarn to form
a dyed yarn, and the dye yarn is woven to form a fabric
structure.
[0017] The present invention further provides another knitted
fabric, wherein an indigo blue dye is used for dying loose fibers,
and the loose fibers are woven to form a dyed yarn, and the indigo
blue dye is used for dying the yarn to produce the dyed yarn, and
the dye yarn with a portion of the yarn dyed by using a top dying
method and a portion of the dyed yarn to produce the fabric
structure.
[0018] The present invention uses the knitted fabric to match with
a pattern of the fabric according to a designer's pattern design,
and parts of the clothes including a front piece and a back piece
of the clothes are arranged according to the design of a plank, and
the fabric is matched with the pattern of the plank. After fabric
is cut according to the plank, the front and back pieces are sewed
to form a piece of clothes.
[0019] The present invention further uses the dyed yarn to knit the
front piece and the back piece of the clothes by a knitting method
directly, and the front piece and the back piece are connected to
form a piece of clothes.
[0020] With the aforementioned technical solution, the knitted
fabric of the present invention has the following effect. The color
of the dyed yarn dyed with the indigo blue dye is faded unevenly
due to the different number of times of washing, and the fabric or
clothes knitted by the dyed yarn has the features of soft texture,
comfortable touch, mild color and natural style.
[0021] In addition, the clothes made of the knitted fabric of the
present invention has the following effect. The color of the
clothes is faded unevenly due to different number of times of
washing, and thus the piece of clothes has the features of soft
texture, comfortable touch, mild color and natural style.
