Abstract
Described is a woven terry fabric article that includes a body having a first end and a second end opposite one another, and a first side edge and a second side edge opposite one another and generally perpendicular to the first and second opposite ends. The article further includes a first terry zone having a pile with a first pile height, a second terry zone having a pile with a second pile height, and a first faux dobby zone intermediate to the first and second terry zones. The first faux dobby zone has a pile with one or more pile heights that are visibly distinct from the pile heights of the first and second terry zones. In embodiments, the one or more pile heights in the faux dobby zone are less than the pile height of the adjacent zones, such as 50% less, 40% less, or 35% less.
