Abstract
A raised surface fabric knit on a conventional terry knitting machine is provided. On one face of the fabric, a foamed liquid wicking composition is applied, and on the other face, a foamed liquid repellent composition is applied. Preferably, one or both faces of the fabric are napped prior to application of the foam. Further, it is preferable to first apply the foamed liquid repellent composition before applying the formed liquid wicking composition.
