Abstract: An improved method for manufacturing an artificial fur from an intermediate pile cloth such as a double velvet weave fabric, a knitted pile fabric provided with two ground constructions and a connecting pile connecting these two ground constructions, and an intermediate pile cloth provided with looped pile projected upward from a ground construction fabric or knitted fabric or non-woven fabric. In the method of this invention, the continuity of the pile yarns of the intermediate pile cloth is broken by sliding separation, so as not to break at least a partial number of fibrous material which will become guard hair of the artificial fur.
