ABSTRACT:
A fabric is constructed by weaving on a loom, with a loom setting of between about 78%-88% in the greige, using false twist textured polyester warp yam (about 140-160 denier, preferably about 150 denier with about 55-65 filaments in either single or 2 ply form) and air textured polyester weft yam (2-ply or 3-ply about 140-160 denier, preferably about 150 denier with about 90-110 filaments, preferably about 100 filaments), and finishing the fabric by scouring (on a jet or on a continuous scouring range) and printing or jet dyeing, and then heat setting at temperature of at least about 350.degree. F. The fabric scores between 4.5 and 5.0 on each of random tumble pilling, brush pilling, and Klopman method roughing and pilling, tests. The fabric also has a surface SMD of at least about 4.3, a bending rigidity 2HB of about 0.1 or less, a compressibility EMC% of less than about 28, a shearing stiffness G value of about 2 or less, and an extensibility EMT% of at least about 3.0. The fabric is especially suitable in the hospitality trade, e.g. for curtains and bedspreads.
