Abstract: A method of weaving a woven fabric comprising weaving a first plurality of weft yarns through a plurality of warm yarns in a 6×1 pattern, and weaving a second plurality of weft yarns through the plurality of warp yarns in a 13×1 pattern. In one embodiment, all of the weft yarns have the same shrinkage ratio and same size of yarn count, and the repeat intersection points on the weft yarns are either 6×1 or 13×1. The weft yarns in the 6×1 pattern alternate with the weft yarns in the 13×1 pattern, with two 6×1 weft yarns followed by one 13×1 weft yarn. This results in a woven fabric that performs like a knitted fabric but with the look of woven denim when the warp yarns are indigo dyed.
