WOVEN OR KNITTED CLOTH CONTAINING TWO DIFFERENT YARNS AND EXHIBITING REDUCTION OF INTERSTITIAL RATE IN BECOMING WET

摘要

A woven or knitted fabric, formed from two types of yarns different in self-elongating property upon absorbing water and capable of increasing the opening area (%) when wetted with water compared with that in dry condition, is constituted so that a ratio A/B of a mean length A of yarns (1) having a high self-elongating upon absorbing water to a mean length B of yarns (2) arranged in the same direction as that of the yarn (1) and having a lower self-elongating upon absorbing water than that of the yarn (1) is adjusted to more than 0.9.
