Fabric including low-melting fiber

Abstract

Fabrics including a low-melting fiber are provided. In an embodiment, the fabric includes a regular fiber and a low-melting fiber. The low-melting fiber is directly included in either warps or wefts or both. Alternatively, a blended or plied fiber of the regular fiber and the low-melting fiber is included in either warps or wefts or both. The low-melting fiber has a fusion rate of 30 to 100%. The fabric has a yarn slip length of 0.1 to 2.5 mm.
