A composite fabric comprising a combination of a gel-forming yarn and a reinforcing yarn. A method of making a reinforced absorptive fabric comprising the steps of weaving, knitting or braiding together gel-forming yarn with reinforcing yarn, such that the network of reinforcing yarn provides structural integrity to t he fabric independent of the gel-forming yarn. A composite fabric or structure may also comprise a composite yarn in which is incorporated both gel-forming fibre and reinforcing fibre. Gel-forming fabrics or structure may be made by first forming fabrics or structures of gel-forming fibre precursor and then converting the precursor to its gel-forming state.
