A woven textile includes, in at least one of the warp or weft directions, non-flocked yarns and flocked yarns. The flocked yarns include a support yarn having a core covered with an adhesive layer. The support yarn has a base diameter. Protruding filaments provide the flocked yarns with an apparent diameter. The non-flocked yarns have a diameter which is smaller than the apparent diameter and larger than the base diameter of the flocked yarns.

Disclosed is a woven material, comprising alternating regions of plain weave and twill weave. A thick yarn, such as chenille yarn, is woven through a plain weave base in a twill weave pattern The woven material is able to maintain dimensional stability even after undergoing multiple wash and dry cycles, and is appropriate for use in a variety of applications, such as to be made into rugs.

A fiber structure 5 for a paint roller, which is wound around a roller core, having a ground weave 8; and a pile portion 9 standing from one side of the ground weave. The pile portion 9 includes covered yarn 10 that is formed by winding sheath yarns 12, 13 around a core thread 11, in order to enhance the stiffness of the pile portion 9.
