Abstract
A jacquard cotton construction fabric, and garment made from the fabric, are produced by spinning and Z-twisting a first at least primarily cotton yarn, spinning and S-twisting a second at least primarily cotton yarn, dyeing the yarn a first color, dyeing the second yarn a second color different from the first color, and knitting a jacquard construction fabric using a ratio of between 70:30 to 30:70 of the first and second yarns so that a fabric having a torque below 8% (preferably less than 5%, e.g. between about 0-2%) is produced. The yarns are preferably substantially 100% cotton, and there may be either an S- or Z-twisted third yarn dyed a third color so that a three color jacquard construction fabric is produced with the first, second and third yarns. The fabric, or garment produced from the fabric, has no discernible course by course slant effect, has a softer hand because a stiffening agent is not necessary to finish the fabric, and there are improvements in the finishing process as well as in the final garment.
