The present invention is directed to a textile material comprising yarns wherein the material is textured by subjecting specified regions of the material to incremental strains sufficient to cause yarn failures or yarn elongation in yarns running in one direction within the specified regions. The yarns in a direction orthogonal to the direction of the failed or elongated yarns will generally have substantially unaltered physical properties and are redistributed within the specified regions. Typically, the yarn failures or elongation will be in the fill direction and yarns in the warp direction will have unaltered physical properties and be redistributed within the specified regions. Also included in the present invention is a method of manufacturing the textured textile material.
