ABSTRACT Modern circular knitting machines are designed to provide the capability of knitting complex pile patterns through the use of electromechanical and mechanical systems which can be computer con- trolled so that systematic pile pattern variations from wale to wale, suitable for the use in manufacturing synthetic fur pieces, can be achieved. No one has heretofore succeeded in producing a sliver knit pile fabric product comprised of seemingly seamed together animal pelts which fabric product has undergone contour shearing in good register prior to heat shrinking of pile fibers contained therein. According to the present invention, there is provided process technology for making a synthetic fur piece from a sliver knit, high pile, differentially transversely knitted, longitudinally patterned, unstabilized starting fabric having a pile containing heat shrinkable fibers. The process involves stabilizing the start- ing fabric, contour shearing same, and then further processing the resulting sheared fabric under conditions which result in heat shrinking of the heat shrinkable pile fibers therein. The pre- ferred product is a synthetic fur piece comprised of seemingly seamed together animal pelts. Various finishing operations typically and preferably are performable upon such a product to enhance fur-like properties and to simulate the appearance and qualities of specific desired animal furs, such as, for example, mink.
