Weft knitted blanket fabric and method of manufacturing the same

A blanket fabric comprising:

• a weft knitted support substrate;
• an overfed loop yarn weft knitted into the substrate;
• a portion of said loops being pulled from the face side of the substrate to the opposite side and mechanically broken;
• and
• each side of the blanket being sheared to provide an even surface,
• wherein about forty percent (40%) to about forty-five percent (45%) of the loops are pulled from the face side of the fabric to the opposite side.

A method of making a blanket fabric comprising the steps of:

• weft knitting a support substrate;
• weft knitting an overfed looped yarn into the substrate;
• pulling a portion of the loops from the face side of the substrate to the opposite side;
• mechanically breaking the pulled loops;
• and
• shearing each side of the fabric to provide an even surface on each side.

A blanket fabric comprising only two knitted yarns, said fabric including:

• a weft knitted support substrate;
• an overfed loop yarn simultaneously knitted into the substrate;
• a portion of said loops being pulled from the face side of the substrate to the opposite side and mechanically broken to an exceptional degree;
• and
• each side of the blanket being sheared to provide an even surface.
