Abstract

A method includes forming a multi-pick yarn package through winding multiple oriented yarns onto a spool. The multiple oriented yarns serve as weft yarns forming adjacent substantially parallel yarns wound together, and each of the multiple oriented yarns is formed through drawing each of multiple synthetic yarns from a corresponding supply package. The method also includes simultaneously inserting the weft yarns in a single pick insertion event of a pick insertion apparatus of a loom apparatus in which the simultaneously inserted weft yarns are to be conveyed through a set of warp yarns to produce an incremental length of a woven textile fabric.

Claims (60)

1. A method comprising:

forming a multi-pick yarn package through winding multiple oriented yarns onto a spool, the multiple oriented yarns serving as weft yarns forming adjacent substantially parallel yarns wound together, and each of the multiple oriented yarns being formed through drawing each of multiple synthetic yarns from a corresponding supply package; and

using the multi-pick yarn package, simultaneously inserting the weft yarns in a single pick insertion event of a pick insertion apparatus of a loom apparatus in which the simultaneously inserted weft yarns are to be conveyed through a set of warp yarns to produce an incremental length of a woven textile fabric.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

twisting and detwisting filaments within the each of the multiple oriented yarns to provide texture thereto, to provide a low stability interlacing during weaving, and to intermingle the filaments within the each of the multiple oriented yarns;

applying a uniform air pressure to the each of the multiple oriented yarns to provide a counter-twist following the twisting and the detwisting of the filaments; and

forming the multi-pick yarn package following the application of the uniform air pressure.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

conveying the simultaneously inserted weft yarns across a warp shed of the loom apparatus through the set of warp yarns; and

interlacing, through a beat up motion of a reed apparatus of the loom apparatus, the set of warp yarns and the conveyed weft yarns to produce the incremental length of the woven textile fabric.

4. The method of claim 1 , comprising the each of the multiple synthetic yarns being a partially oriented yarn.

5. The method of claim 1 , comprising at least one of:

the set of warp yarns being made of at least one of: a cotton material and a cellulosic fiber material,

the set of warp yarns being made of at least one of: the cotton material and a hemp material,

the set of warp yarns being made of at least one of: the hemp material and the cellulosic fiber material, and

the cellulosic fiber material being at least one of: a natural cellulosic fiber material, a regenerated cellulosic fiber material and a man-made cellulosic fiber material.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the cellulosic fiber material is at least one of: a lyocell material, a modal fiber material, a viscose material, a bamboo material and a linen material.

7. The method of claim 2 , comprising applying the uniform air pressure to the each of the multiple oriented yarns in accordance with conveying the each of the multiple oriented yarns to an intermingling jet configured to apply the uniform air pressure.

8. The method of claim 2 , comprising:

drawing the each of the multiple synthetic yarns from the corresponding supply package through a primary input roller; and

drawing, through a secondary input roller operating at a higher speed than the primary input roller, the each of the multiple synthetic yarns from the primary input roller to form the each of the multiple oriented yarns.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

drawing, through a primary heater, the each of the multiple oriented yarns;

exposing the each of the multiple oriented yarns to a cooling plate following the each of the multiple oriented yarns leaving the primary heater; and

drawing, through an intermediate roller, the each of the multiple oriented yarns from the cooling plate prior to the twisting and detwisting of the filaments within the each of the multiple oriented yarns.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising heating, through a secondary heater, the each of the multiple oriented yarns following the application of the uniform air pressure.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

conveying, through an output roller, the each of the multiple oriented yarns to an oil applicator following the heating thereof through the secondary heater; and

applying, through the oil applicator, conning oil to the multiple oriented yarns to reduce a friction between yarns thereof prior to the winding of the multiple oriented yarns onto the spool.

12. The method of claim 5 , wherein at least one of:

when the set of warp yarns is made of the at least one of: the cotton material and the hemp material with 30 Ne to 80 Ne, a thread count of the woven textile fabric is 200 to 1500, and

the multiple synthetic yarns are made from recycled polyester.

13. A method comprising:

forming a multi-pick yarn package through winding multiple oriented yarns onto a spool, the multiple oriented yarns serving as weft yarns forming adjacent substantially parallel yarns wound together, and each of the multiple oriented yarns being formed through drawing each of multiple synthetic yarns from a corresponding supply package;

using the multi-pick yarn package, simultaneously inserting the weft yarns in a single pick insertion event of a pick insertion apparatus of a loom apparatus;

conveying the simultaneously inserted weft yarns across a warp shed of the loom apparatus through a set of warp yarns; and

interlacing, through a beat up motion of a reed apparatus of the loom apparatus, the set of warp yarns and the conveyed weft yarns to produce an incremental length of a woven textile fabric.

14. The method of claim 13 , comprising at least one of:

the set of warp yarns being made of at least one of: a cotton material and a cellulosic fiber material,

the set of warp yarns being made of at least one of: the cotton material and a hemp material,

the set of warp yarns being made of at least one of: the hemp material and the cellulosic fiber material, and

the cellulosic fiber material being at least one of: a natural cellulosic fiber material, a regenerated cellulosic fiber material and a man-made cellulosic fiber material.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the cellulosic fiber material is at least one of: a lyocell material, a modal fiber material, a viscose material, a bamboo material and a linen material.

16. The method of claim 14 , wherein at least one of:

when the set of warp yarns is made of the at least one of: the cotton material and the hemp material with 30 Ne to 80 Ne, a thread count of the woven textile fabric is 200 to 1500, and

the multiple synthetic yarns are made from recycled polyester.

17. A method comprising:

forming a multi-pick yarn package through winding multiple oriented yarns onto a spool, the multiple oriented yarns serving as weft yarns forming adjacent substantially parallel yarns wound together, each of the multiple oriented yarns being formed through drawing each of multiple synthetic yarns from a corresponding supply package, and the each of the multiple synthetic yarns being a partially oriented yam; and

using the multi-pick yarn package, simultaneously inserting the weft yarns in a single pick insertion event of a pick insertion apparatus of a loom apparatus in which the simultaneously inserted weft yarns are to be conveyed through a set, of warp yarns to produce an incremental length of a woven textile fabric.

18. The method of claim 17 , comprising at least one of:

the set of warp yarns being made of at least one of: a cotton material and a cellulosic fiber material,
