Abstract

A fabric suitable for use in making sandbags and the method of making the same wherein the fabric is woven from a yarn of twisted staple acrylic fibers having a fiber length of about 7 to 20 cm and a denier per filament of about 5 to 15, preferably 10 to 15, the yarn having a total denier of about 200 to 2650. The yarn is wrapped with a continuous filament yarn of a type which is degraded by ultraviolet light, with the wrapping being done in such a manner that fuzziness of the yarn is reduced to the point where the yarn can be woven into fabric without the use of size and at a weaving efficiency of at least about 70%.
