A terry article includes a ground component including a plurality of ground warp yarns and a plurality of ground weft yarns interwoven with the plurality of ground warp yarns. The ground component includes a second side and a first side opposed to the second side along a vertical direction, as well as a pile component extending away from the ground component along the vertical direction. The pile component includes a plurality of plied yarns, where each of the plied yarns includes 1) a first yarn that has a first yarn count, and 2) a second yarn that has a second yarn count that is greater than the first yarn count. The second yarn includes regenerated cellulose fibers.

Described is a woven terry fabric article that includes a body having a first end and a second end opposite one another, and a first side edge and a second side edge opposite one another and generally perpendicular to the first and second opposite ends. The article further includes a first terry zone having a pile with a first pile height, a second terry zone having a pile with a second pile height, and a first faux dobby zone intermediate to the first and second terry zones. The first faux dobby zone has a pile with one or more pile heights that are visibly distinct from the pile heights of the first and second terry zones. In embodiments, the one or more pile heights in the faux dobby zone are less than the pile height of the adjacent zones, such as 50% less, 40% less, or 35% less.

A process for manufacturing air-rich yarn and air-rich fabric is provided. The process of the present invention uses optimized parameters for blending, doubling, drafting and spinning in draw frame, roving frame and ring frame respectively. The process of the present invention provides an air rich yarn comprising a plurality of fibers of a water soluble material interlinked and distributed homogenously across a cross-section of the yarn using the optimized parameters. The plurality of fibers of water soluble material after treatment with water provides an improved air rich yarn comprising a plurality of interlinked through-pores distributed homogenously across the cross-section of the yarn. Further, the present invention provides a process of preparing an air-rich fabric from the air-rich yarn, where the fabric exhibits high wettability, easy dry ability, quick absorbency and increased thickness due to homogenous distribution of the plurality of interlinked through-pores across the cross-section of the yarn.

Provided is a pile fabric that can provide both a soft touch feel and durability (pile retention and/or suppression of pile loss). The pile fabric is provided with a base structure formed from a warp and weft and a loop pile formed from pile yarn. The pile yarn is twisted yarn with a twist factor of 2.0 or greater. When the pile yarn is untwisted yarn or weakly twisted yarn, insoluble yarn prior to water soluble yarn elimination is twisted yarn with a twist factor of 2.0 or greater. The proportion of pile height to pile yarn diameter is 40 or greater. The gap between adjacent pile yarn strands is 0.5 mm or less. The pile yarn is 50-120 English yarn count. The loop pile has snarling, and the snarling for adjacent piles is entangled.

A towel has pile loops on only one side. The towel further includes at least one weft yarn including wood pulp fiber yarn, at least one ground warp yarn including wood pulp fiber yarn, and at least one pile loop yarn including cotton yarn.
