Woven twill textile fabric

Abstract

An aspect of the present disclosure relates to a woven twill textile fabric, the fabric including: from about 90 to about 235 ends per inch warp cotton yarn; and from about 100 to about 2765 picks per inch multi-filament polyester weft yarn, wherein the picks are woven into the fabric in a single or in a group of at least two multi-filament polyester weft yarn, and wherein total content of cotton present in the fabric is at least about 50% by weight of the fabric, further wherein total thread count in the fabric ranges from about 190 to about 3000. The advantageous fabric realized in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure can find utility as home textiles. Other aspects of the present disclosure relate to a method of manufacturing a draw textured yarn and a multi-ply separable draw textured yarn.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A woven twill textile fabric, the fabric comprising:
 from 90 to 235 ends per inch warp cotton yarn; and   from 100 to 2765 picks per inch multi-filament polyester weft yarn,   wherein the picks are woven into the fabric in a single or in a group of at least two multi-filament polyester weft yarn, and wherein total content of cotton present in the fabric is at least about 50% by weight of the fabric, further wherein total thread count in the fabric ranges from about 190 to about 3000.   
     
     
         2 . The fabric as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein cotton content in the warp cotton yarn is 100%. 
     
     
         3 . The fabric as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the warp cotton yarn is a blend of cotton and any or a combination of a synthetic fiber and a natural fiber, wherein content of cotton in the blend is at least 90%. 
     
     
         4 . The fabric as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the multi-filament polyester weft yarn is a texturized yarn, and wherein the texturized yarn is a draw textured yarn. 
     
     
         5 . The fabric as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the polyester weft yarn has a denier ranging from 7 to 24. 
     
     
         6 . The fabric as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the polyester weft yarns are wound on a multi-pick yarn package at a type A shore hardness ranging from 65 to 80. 
     
     
         7 . The fabric as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the polyester weft yarns are wound on the multi-pick yarn package at an angle ranging from 15 degrees to 25 degrees. 
     
     
         8 . The fabric as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the number of filaments in the polyester weft yarn ranges from 4 to 24. 
     
     
         9 . The fabric as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the filaments in the weft yarn are partially oriented, medium oriented or fully oriented. 
     
     
         10 . A method of manufacturing a draw textured yarn, the method comprising the steps of:
 passing a polymer melt through a spinning unit to form a plurality of molten streams;   cooling the plurality of molten streams in a quenching zone to form a plurality of polymer filaments;   grouping the polymer filaments to form a yarn;   passing the yarn through at least one interlacing unit for interlacing the filaments within the yarn by adjusting the interlacing parameters to provide a separable interlaced filament yarn; and   retaining the interlacing of the filaments within the yarn during further processing of the yarn to fabric.   
     
     
         11 . The method as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the separable interlaced filament yarn plies are separable from other yarn plies in the fabric. 
     
     
         12 . The method as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein two or more separable interlaced filament yarns are converged to form a multi-ply separable interlaced filament yarn. 
     
     
         13 . A method of manufacturing a multi-ply separable draw textured yarn, the method comprising any of:
 (a) passing two or more interlaced yarns through a texturizing spindle;   (b) passing at least one multi-ply separable interlaced filament yarn through a texturizing spindle, wherein the at least one multi-ply separable interlaced yarn is separable into at least two interlaced yarns; and   (c) passing a combination of at least one multi-ply separable yarn and at least one interlaced yarn through a texturizing spindle, wherein the multi-ply separable yarn is separable into at least two interlaced yarns to provide the multi-ply separable draw textured yarn,   
       wherein the multi-ply separable draw textured yarn is separable into at least two separable draw textured yarn, and wherein interlacing of filaments within the separable draw textured yarn is retained during further processing of the yarn to fabric and in the fabric so that ply of said separable draw textured yarn is separable from one other yarn plies in the fabric. 
     
     
         14 . The method as claimed in  claim 13 , wherein at least one multi-ply separable draw textured yarn is converged with at least one multi-ply separable draw textured yarn to increase the number of plies.
