Abstract
A method for manufacturing a loop pile fabric with a varied appearance includes a woven backing fabric. Loop weft yarns ( A), ( B) are provided outside the backing fabric, and loop warp yarns ( ), ( ), ( ) are so provided that they are alternately inwoven in the backing fabric and form a pile loop ( ), ( ) over at least one loop weft yarn ( A), ( B), and the loop weft yarns ( A), ( B) are subsequently removed. By providing first ( A) and second loop weft yarns ( B) with a different thickness, pile loops ( ), ( ) of different height are formed. To obtain a fabric in which both pile loops ( ) and cut pile ( ) occur subsequently a top part can be removed from a number of pile loops ( ). In areas ( ) where no pile loops are formed effect backing weft yarns ( B) with laterally protruding filaments can be inwoven in the backing fabric. A loop pile fabric can be manufactured according to this method.
