Abstract
Disclosed is a method of weaving, processing and finishing a pile fabric whose pile height (H) after processing and finishing is substantially increased, thus obtaining increased pile height (H) which may be multiple of the original pile height (H) of the woven fabric. Specifically, the pile fabric is manufactured with multiple loop heights combining the original woven pile heights and/or different multiples of the original pile heights. Further, a process results in a fabric having a combination of pile heights, and designs by weaving repeats in the conventional way without soluble yarns (Y) in conjunction with repeats woven with multiple soluble yarns (Y).
