A terry-type cloth product and method of making same are provided wherein such product comprises ground fill and ground warp interlaced to define ground of the product, with the ground having a top surface and a bottom surface and pile warp extending from the ground and with the pile warp comprising a plurality of sets of pile yarns with each set of pile yarns having a plurality of pile yarns wherein the pile yarns of each set extend in a plurality of adjacent loops above the top surface and then pass through the ground and extend in a plurality of adjacent loops beneath the bottom surface and wherein the pile yarns of each set again pass through the ground and repeat in adjacent loops above the top surface and beneath the bottom surface across a dimension of the product, with each immediately adjacent pair of sets of yarns being staggered so as to provide a checkered pattern defined by sets of pile yarns and ground on each of the top and bottom surfaces.
In a terry-type cloth product comprising, ground fill and ground warp interlaced to define ground of said product, said ground having a top surface and a bottom surface, and pile warp extending from said ground, said pile warp comprising a plurality of sets of pile yarns with each set of pile yarns having a plurality of pile yarns, the improvement in which said pile yarns of each set extend in a plurality of adjacent loops above said top surface and then pass through said ground and extend in a plurality of adjacent loops beneath said bottom surface, said pile yarns of each set again pass through said ground and repeat in adjacent loops above said top surface and beneath said bottom surface across a dimension of said product, and each immediately adjacent pair of sets of yarns is staggered so as to provide a checkered pattern defined by sets of pile yarns and ground on each of said top and bottom surfaces.
In a terry-type bedspread which provides thermal insulation, said bedspread comprising, ground fill and ground warp interlaced to define ground of said bedspread, said ground having a top surface and a bottom surface, and pile warp extending from said ground, said pile warp comprising a plurality of sets of pile yarns with each set of pile yarns having a plurality of pile yarns, the improvement in which said pile yarns of each set extend in a plurality of adjacent loops above said top surface and then pass through said ground and extend in a plurality of adjacent loops beneath said bottom surface, said pile yarns of each set again pass through said ground and repeat in adjacent loops above said top surface and beneath said bottom surface across a dimension of said bedspread and each immediately adjacent pair of sets of yarns is staggered so as to provide a checkered pattern defined by sets of pile yarns and ground on each of said top and bottom surfaces.
In a method of making a terry-type cloth product comprising the steps of, interlacing ground fill and ground warp to define ground of said product, said ground having a top surface and a bottom surface, interlacing pile warp from said ground, said step of interlacing pile warp comprising interlacing a plurality of sets of pile yarns with each set of pile yarns having a plurality of pile yarns, the improvement in which said step of interlacing pile yarns comprises interlacing said pile yarns so that said pile yarns of each set extend in a plurality of adjacent loops above said top surface and then pass through said ground and extend in a plurality of adjacent loops beneath said bottom surface, said pile yarns of each set again pass through said ground and repeat in adjacent loops above said top surface and beneath said bottom surface across a dimension of said product, and each immediately adjacent pair of sets of yarns is staggered so as to provide a checkered pattern defined by sets of pile yarns and ground on each of said top and bottom surfaces.
