first and second fabrics respectively that are representative of currently available competitive napery fabrics following one wash cycle as described in examples 2 and 3 fig6 y 6 z fig7 y 7 z and fig8 y 8 z show respectively these same fabrics following 75 wash cycles as described in the respective examples 5 through 7 below fig9 a through 9d show the results of processing a blended fabric in accordance with the teachings herein the following example describes how a superior napery fabric is created using a combination of fabric construction techniques and high pressure water treatment this particular fabric is 100 polyester and is made of spun warp yarns and filament fill yarns the fabric is constructed as a plain weave and has 55 ends per inch and 44 picks per inch in the greige state the warp yarn is an open end spun 12 1 i e a 12 singles cotton count yarn with a twist multiple of 3 6 and the filament filling yarn is a 2 150 34 i e 2 plies of 150 denier yarn each ply containing 34 filaments and is an inherently low shrinkage filling yarn the greige fabric without size weighs about 5 65 ounces per square yard prior to hydraulic processing the fabric is shown in fig5 a and 5b the above fabric is subjected to the following processing one side of the fabric is subjected to high pressure water at about 1400 p s i g manifold exit pressure the water originates from a linear series of nozzles which are rectangular 0 015 inches wide filling direction u00d7 0 010 inches high warp direction in shape and are equally spaced along the treatment zone there.
