Abstract
A method for weaving fabrics with a two-sided rib structure, such as false boucl{acute over (e)} fabrics, comprises forming a fabric on a weaving machine from weft threads and warp threads of a series of warp thread systems, with sets of at least two weft threads running one above the other. Each warp thread system comprises at least three pattern warp threads of which two opposite each other, respectively along the upper side and the lower side of the fabric, form a number of ribs. The pattern warp threads are alternately rib-formingly passed around over one or several sets of weft threads and are interlaced in the fabric, while each additional pattern warp thread is inwoven in the fabric between weft threads of the sets over which other pattern warp threads are rib-formingly passed around. The additional pattern warp threads hold the weft threads of the aforesaid sets at a greater distance from each other in the fabric, so that a greater rib height is provided, and the fabric more closely approximates a loop pile fabric than the known fabrics. Furthermore with each additional pattern warp thread an additional color can be added to the fabric, so that a more varied fabric can be obtained.
