ABSTRACT:
A tufted pile fabric having two different levels of cut pile in alternate adjacent rows and a lower level uncut loop pile selectively disposed in each row in place of the cut pile, and a tufting machine and method for producing the fabric. The machine has a needle bar with adjacent needles alternately penetrating a backing fabric to two different depths, and co-act with hooks set at corresponding levels. The hooks all have spring clips which hold loops on the hooks to be cut unless the yarn is backdrawn sufficiently to release the clip and allow the loop to be released. A yarn feed mechanism having chain driven notched slats of different depths with a shiftable yarn guiding finger directs yarn for each needle into the desired notch to control the amount of yarn fed to each needle and thus the patterned array.
