Abstract
A fabric tape having loops for complementary attachment to a hook-carrying member of a hook-and-loop fastener assembly. The fabric tape includes a fabric backing having a front face and a rear face; and a multitude of elongated yarn loops formed on the front face of the backing, at least some of the loops defining a clockwise-extending axis with reference to the front face of the backing and at least some of the loops defining a counter-clockwise-extending axis with reference to the front face of the backing. The loops are positioned in uniform ranks and files on the front face of the backing.
