Laminar Velour Knitwear

Abstract

Methods of producing a laminar velour knitted fabric include: providing at least one pile yarn made of a pile material consisting only of polyester and at least one base yarn made of a base material consisting only of polyester, wherein the at least one pile material includes individual filaments with a fineness of at most 2 dtex per fibril; knitting the pile yarn and the base yarn to form a raw knitted fabric of pile yarn and base yarn having a top side and a bottom side, the top side including the pile yarn; and forming a raised pile in the absence of alkaline dissolution, wherein forming the raised pile includes napping the top side of the raw knitted fabric, whereby the pile yarn at the top side of the knitted fabric is cut and a pile is formed and raising the pile to form the laminar velour knitted fabric.

         22 . A method of producing a laminar velour knitted fabric comprising the steps of:
 Providing at least one pile yarn made of a pile material consisting only of polyester and at least one base yarn made of a base material consisting only of polyester, wherein the at least one pile material comprises individual filaments with a fineness of at most 2 dtex per fibril;   Knitting the pile yarn and the base yarn with a knitting machine to form a raw knitted fabric of pile yarn and base yarn, wherein the raw knitted fabric has a top side and a bottom side and wherein the top side comprises the pile yarn; and   Forming a raised pile in the absence of alkaline dissolution, wherein forming the raised pile comprises napping the top side of the raw knitted fabric, whereby the pile yarn at the top side of the knitted fabric is cut and a pile is formed and raising the pile to form the laminar velour knitted fabric.   
     
     
         23 . The method according to  claim 22 , wherein the at least one base yarn has a fineness of at most 5 dtex and/or the pile yarn has a fineness of at most 1 dtex. 
     
     
         24 . The method according to  claim 22 , wherein the knitting is performed with a combined lapping comprising at least two lappings of the base yarn and one lapping of the pile yarn. 
     
     
         25 . The method of  claim 22 , wherein knitting is performed such that the raw knitted fabric and/or the laminar velour knitted fabric has a stich density of 400 to 800 mesh/cm 2 . 
     
     
         26 . The method according to  claim 22 , wherein the bottom side of the raw knitted fabric is free of an adhesive. 
     
     
         27 . The method according to  claim 22 , wherein the knitting is performed with a knitting machine having a fineness of E20 to E32. 
     
     
         28 . The method according to  claim 27 , wherein the knitting is performed with a knitting machine having a fineness of E28 to E32. 
     
     
         29 . A method of producing a laminar velour knitted fabric comprising the steps of:
 Providing at least one pile yarn made of a pile material and at least one base yarn made of a base material, wherein the at least one pile material comprises individual filaments with a fineness of at most 2 dtex per fibril;   Knitting the pile yarn and the base yarn with a knitting machine to form a raw knitted fabric of pile yarn and base yarn, wherein the raw knitted fabric has a top side and a bottom side and wherein the top side comprises the pile yarn; and   Forming a raised pile comprising napping the top side of the raw knitted fabric, whereby the pile yarn at the top side of the knitted fabric is cut and a pile is formed and raising the pile to form the laminar velour knitted fabric.   
     
     
         30 . The method according to  claim 29 , wherein forming the raised pile is performed in the absence of alkaline dissolution. 
     
     
         31 . The method according to  claim 29 , wherein the at least one base yarn has a fineness of at most 5 dtex and/or the pile yarn has a fineness of at most 1 dtex. 
     
     
         32 . The method according to  claim 29 , wherein the knitting is performed with a combined lapping comprising at least two lappings of the base yarn and one lapping of the pile yarn. 
     
     
         33 . The method according to  claim 32 , wherein at least one lapping of the base yarn consists of a satin lapping and/or wherein at least one lapping of the base yarn consists of a fringe lapping and/or wherein the lapping of the pile yarn consists of a satin lapping or a velvet lapping. 
     
     
         34 . The method according to  claim 29 , wherein the raw knitted fabric is dyed by strand dyeing prior to raising the pile. 
     
     
         35 . The method according to  claim 29 , wherein the knitting is performed with a knitting machine having a fineness of E20 to E32. 
     
     
         36 . The method according to  claim 35 , wherein the knitting is performed with a knitting machine having a fineness of E28 to E32. 
     
     
         37 . The method according to  claim 29 , wherein the knitting is performed with a combined lapping wherein the combined lapping comprises one lapping of the pile yarn and at least two lappings of the base yarn. 
     
     
         38 . The method according to  claim 37 , wherein the combined lapping consists of a satin-fringe-satin lapping or a satin-fringe-velvet lapping. 
     
     
         39 . The method of  claim 29 , wherein knitting is performed such that the raw knitted fabric and/or the laminar velour knitted fabric has a stich density of 400 to 800 mesh/cm 2 .
