Chenille woven or knitted fabric and process for producing the same

摘要

An improved chenille woven or knitted fabric utilizing at least a chenille yarn composed of synthetic fibers, wherein raised fibers forming a raised fiber portion of the chenille yarn are composed of ultra-fine fibers having a fineness smaller than 0.9 denier and the rising angle alpha between the axis of the raised fibers and the longitudinal axis of the chenille yarn is not larger than 50 DEG . This chenille woven or knitted fabric has a very smooth surface touch and a silk-like high-grade luster. Since almost no raised fine fibers are removed, this fabric is excellent in durability.
