Abstract: A fabric includes a first substrate layer; second substrate layer; the first and second substrate layers being at least translucent, being made from a non-woven fabric, and having a weight in the range between 0.25 ounces/yd..sup.2 and 8.0 ounces/yd..sup.

Abstract: A decorative fabric has two faces and is made on two stitch through type machines of different gauge. The fabric has a non-woven, flexible substrate and a first plurality of spaced yarns laid on the front face of the substrate in the filling direction. First knitting threads of predetermined gauge form a series of warpwise loop chains which bind the first filling yarns and the substrate into an integral structure. The rear face of the substrate has a second plurality fo spaced yarns laid thereon in the filling direction, and second knitting threads of predetermined gauge which are different from the predetermined gauge of said first knitting threads, thereby forming a series of warpwise loop chains which bind the second plurality of spaced yarns and said substrate into an integral structure.
