Size identification system for bed sheets and the like

摘要

A size-identification system for bed sheets and the like is developed at the stage of weaving the greige fabric from which the bed sheets are made. One woven greige fabric ( 12 ) has a colored warp yarn ( 14 ') in a selvage ( 20 ). A bed sheet ( 24 ) made from the fabric ( 12 ) has a selvage ( 26 ) which includes a colored warp yarn ( 30 ). Another woven greige fabric ( 38 ) has a plurality of colored filling yarns ( 44 '), with each filling yarn ( 44 ') being spaced a predetermined distance from an adjacent filling yarn ( 44 ') along the length of the fabric ( 38 ), so as to have one of the yarns ( 44 ') located in a preselected section of a bed sheet ( 50 ) made from the fabric ( 38 ). A bed sheet ( 50 ) made from the fabric ( 38 ) has a colored filling yarn ( 64 ) located in a lower-end section ( 58 ) of the bed sheet ( 50 ).
