PURPOSE: To obtain the title cloth of peach skin-toned touch with bulky feeling, also having moderate tenseness, nerve and resilient feeling, by interlacing specific combined filament yarns and highly shrinkable filament yarns and by heat treatment of the resulting cloth.
CONSTITUTION: (A) Combined filament yarns (having the following characteristics: (1) filaments ≥3 denier in single fiber fineness and filaments ≥1.5 denier in single fiber fineness account for 3-80% of the total filaments, respectively; (2) elongation difference between filaments of maximum elongation and those of minimum elongation is ≥10%; and (3) maximum thermal stress: ≤0.3g/d) and (B) highly shrinkable filament yarns ≥20% in boiling water shrinkage and ≥0.4g/d in maximum thermal stress are interlaced so as to come to 30-100 turns/m in single fiber interlacing degree followed by weaving or knitting into a fabric, which is then heat treated to shrink the component B and manifest the component A's constituent filaments onto the surface, thus giving the objective cloth.
