(54) Fabric manufacture


(57) A fabric is made from two yarn structures (2, 3) which are formed one on top of the other joined by linking yarns (11) at one edge (4). The resulting folded fabric can be opened out to be of greater width than the individual yarn structures (2, 3). The fabric may be a curtain heading tape with draw cords (16, 17, 18) and rows of pockets (15). The fabric may be woven with a needle loom having warp feeds (19) providing warp yarns (6, 6a) in two sets (20, 21) one above the other, and linking warp yarns (11) at one side, and a weft feed (26, 27) to feed weft yarns (7, 8) around the warp yarns of the two sets and the linking yarns.
