Abstract: Methods of producing a laminar velour knitted fabric include: providing at least one pile yarn made of a pile material consisting only of polyester and at least one base yarn made of a base material consisting only of polyester, wherein the at least one pile material includes individual filaments with a fineness of at most 2 dtex per fibril; knitting the pile yarn and the base yarn to form a raw knitted fabric of pile yarn and base yarn having a top side and a bottom side, the top side including the pile yarn; and forming a raised pile in the absence of alkaline dissolution, wherein forming the raised pile includes napping the top side of the raw knitted fabric, whereby the pile yarn at the top side of the knitted fabric is cut and a pile is formed and raising the pile to form the laminar velour knitted fabric.

Abstract: A laminar velour knitted fabric is disclosed, which has an top side and a bottom side, the top side including a pile and the bottom side including a knitted fabric of at least one pile material and a base material. The at least one pile material in the knitted fabric is formed as at least one pile yarn and the base material in the knitted fabric is formed as at least one base yarn. Further, the pile includes the at least one pile material. The at least one pile material of the pile has individual fibrils with a fineness of at most 2 dtex per fibril.
