(54)	Process for the production of a fabric made of extrafine animal fibres which are not industrially weaveable and a fabric obtained thereby.

(57) A process for the production of a fabric made of extrafine animal fibres which are not industrially weaveable, comprising the following sequence of steps:
a) spinning of blended yarns (1) made of extrafine animal fibres, specifically cashmere fibres and silk fibres;
b) doubling of each of said blended yarns (1) with a corresponding yarn made of synthetic fibres (2), preferably having an equivalent count, soluble in a slightly acidic liquid solution at a high temperature; the doubling is preferably carried out with a torsion S in a direction opposite to the torsion Z of the blended yarns (1);
c) weaving of the doubled yarns (3);
d) dissolving said synthetic fibre yarns (2) by means of a slightly acidic liquid solution at a high temperature.
An extremely soft fabric consisting only of extrafine blended yarns (1) made of animal fibres and silk fibres, which are not industrially weaveable per se, is thereby obtained.
