Velvet fabric knitting method

Abstract

A velvet fabric knitting method is applied by performing a shearing process different from the terry-cloth construction on two different yarns in a double plated circular knitting machine and by means of the invention, light effects and episodic patterning are achieved without applying any printing process and/or using jacquard circular knitting machines. The progress is achieved by producing ring-spun, open-end, air-jet, friction yarn from different material mixtures and using them as pile yarn in the production of a velvet fabric.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A velvet fabric knitting method comprising the steps of
 mixing a plurality of fibers comprising neps used in a pile yarn with a textile fiber comprised of natural, synthetic, regenerated fibers or a mixture of the natural, synthetic and regenerated fibers and making the plurality of fibers and the textile fiber into a plurality of slivers upon processing the plurality of fibers and the textile fibers in a carding machine;   activating a draw frame for eliminating roughness of the plurality of slivers coming from the carding machine and splicing a plurality of sliver cotton pieces with a plurality of sliver neps and mixing the plurality of sliver neps into a main material;   activating a roving frame for thinning a draw frame sliver cotton and a nep mixture coming from the draw frame and subjecting the draw frame sliver cotton and the nep mixture to a twisting process to obtain a plurality of cords;   activating a ring machine for obtaining a yarn by thinning the plurality of cords coming from a main fiber and a nep mixture from a roving machine via drawing and winding the yarn onto a plurality of cops;   knitting a greige fabric by a plurality of needles, wherein the greige fabric is turning upon upwards-downwards movement of the plurality of needles provided in a double cylinder circular knitting machine;   knitting the pile yarn and a ground yarn by passing the pile yarn and the ground yarn through the plurality of needles in a plurality of different cylinders;   placing the pile yarn on a fabric backcloth for shearing and then shearing thereof the pile yarn;   activating a fixing machine for fixing a produced yarn and for stretching a pile fabric under hot air to prevent an electrostatic generation; and   dyeing the pile fabric, wherein dyeing the pile fabric comprises the steps of:   activating a centrifugal drying machine for drying the pile fabric by contacting a heated air;   rotating a dyed fabric at least 4550 revolutions per minute in order to prevent sinking of a plurality of nep effects in the centrifugal drying machine;   shearing the pile yarn of the pile fabric in order to turn the pile fabric into a velvet fabric by making a plurality of closed loops open-ends from a blade distance of at least 1.8 mm; and   passing a dyed and sheared velvet fabric through a stenter for drying the dyed and sheared velvet fabric thereof.   
     
     
         2 . The velvet fabric knitting method according to  claim 1 , comprising the plurality of textile fibers are selected from the group of viscose, cotton, polyester, nylon, linen, wool, silk fibers or fiber mixtures comprised of mixtures natural, synthetic and regenerated fibers. 
     
     
         3 . (canceled) 
     
     
         4 . (canceled) 
     
     
         5 . The velvet fabric knitting method ( 100 ) according to  claim 1 , comprising the step of obtaining a plurality of sliver nep effects when carding process of the plurality of textile fibers are selected from the group of cotton, silk, or linen or mixtures natural, synthetic and regenerated fibers is performed in the carding machine at a drum speed of less than 300 rpm and a distance between a revolving flat and a cylinder of the carding machine is more than 35 mm.
