<p>A fabric (10) for an animal rug, having a mesh pattern of a size suitable for preventing penetration and biting by insects, has a mesh of woven fibers (11), forming rectangular spaces (12) therebetween. Each weft (13) and warp (14) is formed from a soft, inner, multifilament fiber (15) sandwiched between a pair of relatively stiffer, outer, monofilament fibers (16). The fabric (10) is strong and stable, yet soft and light, and it is also absorbent. The outer, monofilament fibers provide the stability of the mesh pattern by locking the soft, inner, multifilament fiber (15) in place. However, a certain amount of movement between the wefts and the warps is possible resulting in a fabric, which will mould around the body of the animal.</p> |
