Abstract
A printed woven blanket is provided which is printed on only one side but has the appearance of having been printed on both sides. A cationic dye is applied to one side of the blanket utilizing a roller which forces the dye into the fabric forming a printed pattern. The printed blanket is dried and then steamed to set the dye. The blanket is napped which further enhances the appearance of the side which is not printed.
