Abstract
To the surface of knitted cotton fabrics is applied from 20 to 90% wet add-on of crosslinking agent in a novel geometric pattern by any of several techniques including kiss-roll padding, printing, or transferring the solution of crosslinking agent from impregnated material to the surface of the knitted fabric, followed by drying and curing the moist textile at elevated temperatures, and finally by washing the cured fabric to effect differential shrinkage of the fabric in the applied design, which novel shrinkage in the fabric is fixed through the life of the fabric and is stable through subsequent launderings.
