<p>A decorative outdoor fabric including a woven structure formed of acrylic wa rp yarns (10) and at least some of the fill yarns (12) comprising self-coating yarns (14) formed of high melt and low melt yarn constituents. When the fabric is tentered, the low melt constituents melt and cross-flow to the other fibers in the fill (12) and warp yarns (10) . Both the warp yarns (10) have deniers in the range of 400-4000 and the fill yarns (12) have deniers in the range of 150-4000. Because of th e cross-flow of the low melt constituents, the resulting fabric achieves acceptable abrasion resistance, stability, and load recovery and ha nd without the need for a latex backing.</p> |
