Textile structure, and manufacturing process related thereto

Process for manufacturing a textile structure comprising:

• arranging warp yarns extending along a warp direction, according to a first series of warp yarns mutually alternated with a second series of warp yarns;
• inserting weft yarns along a weft direction transverse to the warp direction, across an open shed formed by the first series and second series mutually converging at a weaving region along the warp direction;
• mutually swapping the first series and second series to interlace the weft yarn with the warp yarns at the weaving region, whereby a base fabric is formed by the weft yarns interlaced with the warp yarns at respective interlacing points;
• laying at least one functional thread on the warp yarns near the weaving region, the functional thread lying on a back surface of the base fabric, without crossing a median lying plane of the base fabric;
• linking the at least one functional tread to the weft yarns by stitching points placed between the median lying plane and the back surface, so that the stitching points are not visible from a front surface of the base fabric opposite to the back surface.
