(54)	Process for the production of non-woven cotton fabrics having a patterned structure

(57) A web of gray cotton fibers is entangled by passing it under a series of low pressure liquid jets which are oscillated in a direction transverse to the direction of travel of the web. The entangled web is then subjected to a cotton bleaching step, and then dried, to produce a coherent nonwoven fabric that requires no resin binder.
