Fabric, in particular carpet, and method of weaving a fabric

Fabric having a shadow effect, comprising:

• a backing fabric having binding warp yarns repeatedly crossing each other for providing weft receiving openings, tension warp yarns substantially extending in a warp direction, and weft yarns substantially extending in a weft direction through the weft receiving openings,
• pile warp yarns interlaced with weft yarns of the backing fabric for providing piles extending out of the backing fabric at a pile side,
• wherein, in at least one weft receiving opening, at least one weft yarn positioned immediately adjacent to one of the crossings of the binding warp yarns defining this weft receiving opening in the warp direction provides an end weft yarn positioned at a back side relative to at least one weft separating warp yarn extending in the backing fabric substantially in the warp direction, and at least one intermediate weft yarn positioned adjacent to such an end weft yarn in the warp direction is positioned at the pile side relative to the at least one weft separating warp yarn, wherein, for providing a pile, in association with this weft receiving opening, a pile warp yarn is interlaced with an end weft yarn of this weft receiving opening such as to extend out of the backing fabric between this end weft yarn and an intermediate weft yarn of this weft receiving opening.
