Abstract
A method is disclosed for permanently patterning a textile fabric with a visually pleasing random-appearing network of line segments, as well as the fabrics produced thereby. The fabric is preferably calendered on at least one side, then packed into a heated chamber via a multi-stage folding or pleating process. The packed fabric is retained in the heated chamber a sufficient time to heat set the network of creases generated by the packing process. The fabric may then be dyed; creased portions of the fabric appear more saturated with dye.
