The present invention provides a durable, launderable hydroentangled composite that is highly suitable for skin-contacting uses. The composite is a hydrogentangled composite which is pattern bonded. The composite contains two filamentous web layers containing crimped continuous filaments and a cellulosic layer containing cellulosic fibers, and the cellulosic layer is disposed between the filamentous web layers. The composite fabric is launderable as demonstrated by the fact that the composite loses less than about 2% of its opacity, based on the initial opacity of the composite, when subjected to one laundering cycle in accordance with the ASTM 2724-87 washing and drying procedure. Additionally provided is a process for producing the composite.

A launderable composite comprising: a) a first filamentous layer, said first layer comprising crimped continuous filaments, b) a second filamentous layer, said second layer comprising crimped continuous filaments, and c) a cellulosic layer, said cellulosic layer comprising cellulosic fibers and having been disposed between said first and second filamentous layers, wherein said composite is a hydroentangled pattern bonded composite that is adhesively or thermally patterned bonded forming bonded regions within said composite, and said composite loses less than about 2% of its opacity, based on the initial opacity of said composite, when subjected to one laundering cycle in accordance with the ASTM 2724-87 washing and drying procedure and wherein said first and second filamentous layers are unbonded except by means of said adhesively or thermally patterned bonds.
