PURPOSE: To provide the title knitted fabric dyeable with basic dye containing spun yarns blended with modacrylic fibers with the surface impregnated with a small amount of a solvent and also knittedly woven homogeneously.
CONSTITUTION: The objective knitted fabric containing spun yarns blended with ≥20wt.% of modacrylic fibers with the surface impregnated with 0.5-10wt.% of a solvent (pref. sulfolane) and also knittedly woven homogeneously using at a level accounting for ≥50wt.% of the whole yarns used. It is preferable that said modacrylic fibers be obtained by immersing conventional acrylic fibers in a solvent diluted with e.g. water followed by drying at ≤60°C. Said fibers, when dried, may mildly stick; in that case, they are recommended to open before blending.
