Abstract
A wrappable textile sleeve and method of construction includes an elongate wall having warp yarns extending generally parallel to a longitudinal central axis of the sleeve and fill yarns extending circumferentially about the sleeve. The warp yarns and the fill yarns are woven in an overlying and underlying weave pattern with one another. The warp yarns are arranged in discrete groups alternating about a circumference of the wall with adjacent groups having a different number of the warp yarns. As such, the wall is provided with groups of increased numbers of warp yarns that provide the sleeve with enhanced rigidity and abrasion resistance, while also being provided with groups of decreased numbers of warp yarns that provide the sleeve with enhanced flexibility along the longitudinal central axis.
