Abstract

Aspects are directed to a textile having two opposing surfaces formed of a different yarn type. Each yarn type may include a material with a color that is different than a material the other yarn type. The textile may include different amounts of materials at areas of a surface, and a visual component may be formed at one area by colors of materials included in each yarn type.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A textile comprising:
 a first surface having a first area of a first predefined size and a second area of the first predefined size; and   a second surface opposite the first surface,   wherein:
 the first area is formed from a first yarn type comprising a blended yarn formed from a cellulosic material and a first non-cellulosic polymer material having a first color, the first area comprising a first percentage by weight of the cellulosic material and a first percentage by weight of the first non-cellulosic polymer material, 
 the second area is formed from the first yarn type, the second area comprising a second percentage by weight of the cellulosic material, the second percentage by weight of the cellulosic material less than the first percentage by weight of the cellulosic material, and 
 the second surface is formed from a second yarn type plated with the first yarn type, the second yarn type comprising a second non-cellulosic polymer material having a second color different from the first color. 
   
     
     
         2 . The textile of  claim 1 , further comprising a visual component in the second area, the visual component comprising the first color of the first non-cellulosic polymer material of the first yarn type and the second color of the second non-cellulosic polymer material of the second yarn type. 
     
     
         3 . The textile of  claim 2 , wherein a numerical color value of the first color differs by about 5% or more from a numerical color value of the second color. 
     
     
         4 . The textile of  claim 1 , wherein the first percentage by weight of the cellulosic material is from about 35% to about 75% and the second percentage by weight of the cellulosic material is from about 0% to about 20%. 
     
     
         5 . The textile of  claim 1 , wherein the cellulosic material comprises a cellulosic polymeric component. 
     
     
         6 . The textile of  claim 5 , wherein the cellulosic polymeric component comprises cotton. 
     
     
         7 . The textile of  claim 1 , wherein the second area further comprises a second percentage by weight of the first non-cellulosic polymer material, the second percentage by weight of the first non-cellulosic polymer material greater than the first percentage by weight of the first non-cellulosic polymer material. 
     
     
         8 . The textile of  claim 7 , wherein the first percentage by weight of the first non-cellulosic polymer material is from about 25% to about 65% and the second percentage by weight of the first non-cellulosic polymer material is from about 80% to about 100%. 
     
     
         9 . The textile of  claim 8 , wherein the first non-cellulosic polymer material comprises a non-cellulosic polymeric component. 
     
     
         10 . The textile of  claim 9 , wherein the non-cellulosic polymeric component comprises a terephthalate polymer. 
     
     
         11 . The textile of  claim 10 , wherein the terephthalate polymer comprises polyethylene terephthalate. 
     
     
         12 . The textile of  claim 1 , wherein the cellulosic material comprises a third color. 
     
     
         13 . The textile of  claim 12 , wherein a numerical color value of the third color is different by about 5% or more from a numerical color value of the first color. 
     
     
         14 . A method of forming a visual component on a textile, the method comprising:
 applying a chemical composition to a textile comprising a first surface formed from a first yarn type comprising a blended yarn formed from a cellulosic material and a first non-cellulosic polymer material having a first color, and a second surface positioned opposite the first surface, the second surface formed by a second yarn type plated with the first yarn type, the second yarn type comprising a second non-cellulosic polymer material having a second color that is different from the first color, wherein applying the chemical composition to the textile comprises applying the chemical composition to the first surface at one or more areas, the chemical composition effective to degrade at least a portion of the cellulosic material from the first yarn type,   wherein, subsequent to the application of the chemical composition, the visual component is formed at the one or more areas, the visual component formed by the first color of the first non-cellulosic polymer material of the first yarn type and the second color of the second non-cellulosic polymer material of the second yarn type.   
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein degrading comprises one or more of carbonizing, oxidizing, or dissolving. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14 , further comprising removing at least a portion of the chemical composition from the textile by a washing process. 
     
     
         17 . An article of apparel comprising:
 one or more textiles that form one or more portions of the article of apparel, at least one of the one or more textiles comprising:   a first surface having a first area and a second area different than the first area, the first surface formed from a first yarn type comprising a first material composition at the first area and a second material composition at the second area; and   an opposite second surface formed from a second yarn type plated with the first yarn type, the second yarn type comprising a third material composition,   wherein the first material composition comprises a first non-cellulosic polymer material having a first color and a cellulosic material, the first material composition comprising from about 25% to about 65% by weight of the first non-cellulosic polymer material and from about 35% to about 75% by weight of the cellulosic material,   wherein the second material composition comprises the first non-cellulosic polymer material, the second material composition comprising from about 80% to about 100% by weight of the first non-cellulosic polymer material,   wherein the third material composition comprises a second non-cellulosic polymer material having a second color that is different than the first color.   
     
     
         18 . The article of apparel of  claim 17 , wherein the cellulosic material has a third color, and wherein the one or more textiles comprises a visual component formed by two or more of the first color of the first non-cellulosic polymer material, the second color of the second non-cellulosic polymer material, or the third color of the cellulosic material. 
     
     
         19 . The article of apparel of  claim 18 , wherein the article of apparel is an upper-body article of apparel. 
     
     
         20 . The article of apparel of  claim 18 , wherein the article of apparel is a lower-body article of apparel.
