Abstract: Disclosed is a method of weaving, processing and finishing a pile fabric whose pile height (H) after processing and finishing is substantially increased, thus obtaining increased pile height (H) which may be multiple of the original pile height (H) of the woven fabric. Specifically, the pile fabric is manufactured with multiple loop heights combining the original woven pile heights and/or different multiples of the original pile heights. Further, a process results in a fabric having a combination of pile heights, and designs by weaving repeats in the conventional way without soluble yarns (Y) in conjunction with repeats woven with multiple soluble yarns (Y).

Abstract: Presented is a fabric comprised of a staple fiber yarn exhibiting a twist multiplier of less than a prescribed value, preferably 1.5. Yarn is formed from staple fibers twisted together with a certain number or twists-per-inch. The twist-per-inch of the yarn in the fabric is related to the yarn count and a proper balancing of the two results in a twist multiplier of preferably less than 1.5. The Yarn Count is indirectly related to the fiber diameter. The fabric embodying the present invention has a softer more luxurious feel, more bulk, and greater absorbency than a conventional fabric.
