An anhydrous preparation for finishing sewing yarn and sewing thread is disclosed. The preparation essentially consists of 65 to 99% by weight of a dimethylpolysiloxane with a viscosity of 50 to 10,000 mm.sup.2 /S.sup.-1 at 25.degree. C. and a hydroxyl content of 0.3 to 1.5% by weight and 1 to 30% by weight of a fatty acid or a fatty amine with, on the average, 8 to 18 carbon atoms and, optionally, 0 to 5% by weight of conventional additives. The preparation are easy to prepare and have an unlimited shelf life and a constant viscosity even over a prolonged period of storage. The preparation confer low thread tension, decreased yarn breakage and improved stick-slip properties on the sewing yarn and thread.

A preparation for finishing textile fibers or products comprising textile fibers is disclosed. The preparation is liquid and contains 0.5 to 80% by weight of a mixture of modified organopolysiloxane A and B in a ratio of A:B by weight of 10:1 to 1:1, with the proviso that organpolysiloxane A is a linear siloxane containing polyether groups and having at least 40 dialkylsiloxy units, to which are linked at least 2 polyether groups, each of which has a molecular weight of 600 to 4,000 and which comprises 40 to 100 mole percent of oxyethylene units, the remainder being oxypropylene units, the ratio of the number of dialkylsiloxy units to the number of polyether groups being greater than or equal to 8. The organopolysiloxane B is a linear siloxane containing quaternary ammonium groups with at least 20 dialkylsiloxy units, to which at least 2 quaternary ammonium groups are linked over carbon atoms, the ratio of the number of dialkylsiloxy units to the number of quaternary ammonium groups being greater than or equal to 10. The remainder of the preparation comprises water or a water miscible solvent. The preparation improves the handle of the finished fibers or fiber products while, at the same time, hydrophilizing them. This improvement in handle is also achieved with firmly twisted, open-end yarns. The finished fibers or fiber products can be redyed or overdyed without difficulty. They have good antielectrostatic properties.

A method is disclosed for finishing knitted fabric to prevent cut edges from rolling up while the knitted fabric is being converted into garments. 0.2 to 1 percent, based on the weight of the knitted fabric, of a copolymer of N-vinylpyrrolidone and dialkylaminoalkyl acrylate or methacrylate, the alkyl groups preferably being lower alkyl groups with 1 to 4 carbon atoms and at least 10% of the amino groups being present in the quaternary form, is applied to the knitted fabric. The copolymer is preferably applied to the fabric from an aqueous solution.

A method of producing finely divided, stable oil-in-water emulsions of organopolysiloxanes is disclosed. The condensation and/or polymerization of lower molecular organosilicon compounds is carried out in a paste which consists of the organosilicon compounds, the amount of emulsifier required for preparing the emulsion and an amount of water equal to 0.5 to 3 times the weight of the emulsifier. This transparent to weakly opaque paste is then stirred in water in order to form an emulsion.

The invention relates to an aqueous preparation for shrinkproofing wool, which contains, as active ingredient, organopolysiloxanes of a particular structure with mercaptoalkyl or mercaptoaryl radicals and hydrogen atoms. The preparation is storage-stable and causes no yellowing in naturally colored or white wool. The hand of the wool is not disadvantageously affected.

A preparation for shrinkproofing wool composed of 1 to 50 weight percent of organopolysiloxanes composed of 90 to 99.8 mole % of units having the formula R.sub.n.sup.1 SiO.sub.(4-n)/2, and 0.2 to 10 mole % of units having the formula R.sup.2 SiO.sub.3/2 with the remainder being water and other conventional additives. These preparations provide emulsions which are stable over long periods of time, do not precipitate even in the presence of moisture, provide durable shrinkproof properties to wool, and have no adverse effect on the 'hand' of the wool.
