Claims
- 1. A method for producing a pattern of color intensity variation upon the nap of a nap fabric comprising the steps of:
- (a) selecting in a first selecting step, a nap fabric in which the nap is comprised of acrylic material; and
- (b) selecting in a second selecting step, a desired pattern of color intensity variation for said fabric; the improvement characterized by
- (c) reducing the dye absorption capacity of portions of said nap by applying pressure within the range of between about 1 and 5 kilograms per square centimeter and heat at a temperature within the range of between about 170.degree. C. and 190.degree. C. to portions thereof according to said second selecting step;
- (d) said reducing step being carried out by passing said fabric over a heated metal cylinder engraved according to said second selecting step;
- (e) passing said fabric from said first selecting step through a dye bath wherein dye is absorbed according to said second selecting step; and
- (f) finishing the said dyed fabric in a conventional manner.
- 2. A nap fabric with a pattern of color intensity variation of the nap thereof, said fabric produced by the method of
- (a) selecting in a first selecting step, a nap fabric in which the nap is comprised of acrylic material; and
- (b) selecting in a second selecting step, a desired pattern of color intensity variation for said fabric web; the improvement characterized by
- (c) reducing the dye absorption capacity of portions of said nap by applying pressure within the range of between about 1 to 5 kilograms per square centimeter and heat at a temperature within the range of between about 170.degree. C. and 190.degree. C. to portions thereof according to said second selecting step;
- (d) said reducing step being carried out by passing said fabric over a heated metal cylinder engraved according to said second selecting step;
- (e) passing said fabric from said first selecting step through a dye bath wherein dye is absorbed according to said second selecting step; and
- (f) finishing the said dyed fabric in a conventional manner.
