Abstract:
An elastic thread yarn comprising linen and/or ramié and/or hemp and an elastic thread, with a thread made of an elastomeric material, and a substantially inextensible yarn made of linen and/or ramié and/or hemp helically wound about the elastomeric core at a predetermined number of windings per length unit of elasticized yarn, wherein, for each metric count Nm, the number of windings substantially inextensible yarn of the elasticized yarn, is set between two values indicated by two curves (12, 13) which can be expressed according to exponential laws, for example, with the same exponent, i.e. according to equations of the form T=K N0, 327 where K is 20 and 50, respectively. In particular, an intermediate curve 11 is such that, by choosing for a given metric count a number of windings proximate to curve 11, this best feature balance is obtained. In an exemplary embodiment, the core comprises a bare elastic thread, i.e. an elastic thread that is not coated by other fibers. In another exemplary embodiment, the core comprises an elastic thread coated with a natural fiber as cotton or viscose, or with a combination thereof. The elastic thread yarn according to the invention provides elasticized fabrics containing linen and/or on ramié, which has, in particular, a better surface regularity than well-known elasticized fabrics comprising linen, and which is comparable with the regularity of the elasticized fabrics comprising natural fibers such as cotton, wool, etc. and synthetic fibers, and also allows using ramie and hemp yarns to make elastic thread yarns and fabrics, for example, for making cloth items.
