A flocked fabric has colors with long wearing capabilities and includes a textile substrate and raised disperse-dyeable fibers adhered to the substrate, an opaque particulate colorant adhering to the raised fibers and arrayed on the fabric in a printed pattern. A dye other than the opaque particulate colorant is also arrayed on the fabric in other portions of the printed pattern, such as in a blotch. A melamine-latex binder system causes the opaque particulate material to adhere to the fibers, and a resist causes the other dye not to dye the fibers in the area of the malamine-latex binder system. The opaque particulate colorant is adhered to the fibers strongly enough to show only very little wear after 15,000 cycles on a Wyzenbeek abrasion test. |
