PURPOSE:To obtain an artificial fur having improved appearance and touch, by bending naps wholly to the longitudinal direction of a base fabric in a multiple ridged napped structure of cone-shaped naps, and spreading the naps at the taps of the ridges almost parallel to the longitudinal direction and obliquely to the ridge ends. CONSTITUTION:A napped materials, e.g. stinging hair or downy hair, consisting of synthetic fibers, preferably polyester fibers, and tapered by alkali treatment is needle punched in a base fabic consisting of fibers, e.g. island-in-sea type conjugate fibers, capable of forming ultrafine fibers to flock the naps one by one independently passing through the base fabric. In the process, the nap length is distributed to constitute multiple ridged naps in the cone shape, and the whole naps are flat down and bent at 40-70 deg. in the longitudinal direction of the base fabric to distribute the naps at the tops of the ridges dense almost parallel to the longitudinal direction and sparse to the ridge ends and spread obliquely at 10-80 deg. to the longitudinal direction. As a result, naps at the ridge ends of the respective ridges are mutually superposed and interfered to assume an interference pattern in the longitudinal direction. Thus, the aimed artificial fur having beautiful luster and feeling resembling those of natural fur is obtained.
