Air covered or interlaced yarn
Used in hosiery, it is a yarn obtained by passing together through an air flow a texturized nylon yarn (microfilament or multifilament) and an elastane fibre (see) under tension. |
|
|
|
|
|
Air-jet
Also known as "false twist". Consists in air-covering nylon filaments with elastomer (Lycra). |
|
|
|
|
|
Alternate course
In the weaving (see) stage, it refers to a way to insert the elastane thread each two courses: a course of elastomer and a course of parallel or texturized yarn. |
|
|
|
|
|
Anti-slide
A special rubberized sole made from either transparent or pigmented silicone with anti-slide effect. |
|
|
|
|
|
Anti-static
A property of fabrics and products eliminating or reducing static electricity on materials surface. |
|
|
|
|
|
Antibacterial
A specific treatment ensuring feet health that prevents bacterial development and multiplication, with particular care for bacteria resulting from perspiration. |
|
|
|
|
|
Assembling
Stage in which the two tight tubes are assembled at the top with seams (see). |
|
|
|
|
|
Automatic sewing
Seam made by machines with automatic systems which put together the two tight tubes - corresponding to the legs - insert the gusset, if applicable, and saw the toes. |
|
|
|
|
|
Bare Lycra
Lycra has the same tangibility and other processing characteristics as a synthetic fibre and, therefore, may be incorporated as bare in many fabric structures. |
|
|
|
|
|
Bare top
In this particular type of top, the briefs part is made with the same yarns used for the legs for a total uniform effect. |
|
|
|
|
|
Bi-component yarn
Yarn obtained through a chemical-thermal process in which two polymers with a different heat narrowing degree are extruded together in a single strand. |
|
|
|
|
|
Border
Positioned at the head of knee-socks or socks, it is synonymous of elastic or waist band and is aimed at holding them up at the leg. |
|
|
|
|
|
Brilliance
Brilliance may depend on different factors: first of all, the type of yarns. |
