Claim 1
Independent Claim
85 words
A textile fabric comprising a plurality of interwoven warp and woof threads having a substantially low number count, at least one of said warp and woof threads having a substantially high torsion, at least one of said warp and woof threads being dyed a predetermined base color, and fibrils superficially raised on the surface of at least one side of said fabric and intermingled with each other to provide a plushed surface and a change in tonality of said surface from said predetermined base color.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
