Abstract
In the method, at least one nap fabric strip is woven in a shuttle-less strip loom from weft and warp threads. A first shed is formed from a first layer of warp threads and from a second layer of warp threads. A second shed is formed from the second layer of warp threads and from a third layer of warp threads. A weft thread is introduced into the first shed. A free end portion of an elongate resiliently or elastically deformable element is introduced into the second shed. The elongate element is displaced towards the edge of the fabric strip such that an intermediate portion of the elongate resiliently or elastically deformable element external of the second shed is deformed with portions of the third warp threads wrapped around the elongate resiliently or elastically deformed element to form the nap loops. The elongate element is secured in the deformed position at least until the beating up of the next weft thread and then the elongate element is withdrawn from the second shed whereby, in consequence of its resilient deformability, the elongate element returns to its initial undeformed shape. Apparatus for carrying out the method is also disclosed.
