Abstract

A method for making a finished fabric comprising the following steps:

(a) providing yarn; (b) sizing the yarn using a solution of about 75% of water based on the solution; about 12.5% of steam condensate based on the solution; and from about 12 to about 14% of a sizing solution, based on the solution wherein the temperature of the sizing solution is from about 155° F. to about 195° F.; and (c) weaving the yarn of step (b) to form an undyed woven fabric wherein the reed has dpi of from about 31.25 to about 31.75 and dent wire of from about 0.15 mm to about 0.28 mm and from about 2400 to 2700 dents, with from about 70 to about 80% air space, allowing the warp yarn to lie flatter, giving a more full appearance of the finished fabric. The method for making the finished fabric precludes finishing or desizing the undyed woven fabric. The finished fabric made from the foregoing method, and wall covering and art canvas including the finished fabric are also part of the present invention.
