Forward Looking Statements.
--------------------------

This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning
of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934.
These statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those included in such forward
looking statements. The words "believes," "expects," "intends," "estimates"
or "anticipates" and similar expressions, as well as future or conditional
verbs such as "will," "should," "would," and "could", are intended to
identify forward-looking statements.  Specific forward looking statements
contained in this Quarterly Report include, among others, statements
regarding adequacy of the Company's liquidity and capital resources.  These
forward looking statements are found in Part I, Item 2.  There can be no
assurance that the assumptions made by management are correct.

The forward looking statements in this Quarterly Report are also subject to
certain risks and uncertainties including, among others, that our performance
in future periods may be adversely impacted by the cyclical nature of the
textile industry, intense competition within the textile industry, fluctua-
tions in the price and availability of cotton and other raw materials, our
inability to make capital improvements necessary to maintain competitiveness,
possible adverse changes in governmental regulation regarding the import of
cotton and textile products, difficulties in integrating acquired businesses
and achieving cost savings, changes in environmental regulations, deteriora-
tion of relationships with or the loss of material customers and adverse
changes in general market and industry conditions.

We believe that the forward looking statements in this Quarterly Report are
reasonable; however, such statements are based on current expectations and
undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.  We undertake no
obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements.

4.   Other Operating Costs, Net

     During 1999 the Company donated its Riverside Long Mill to a local
     nonprofit historical organization for future renovation and development
     into a multi-use retail and residential facility. The Long Mill is one
     of two mill complexes which make up the Company's Riverside apparel
     fabrics weaving facilities in Danville, VA, that were shut down in 1997.
     At the time of the donation, approximately $1.8 million remained in
     reserves established in 1997, principally for demolition of the
     Riverside buildings. Due to the donation of the Long Mill, it is no
     longer anticipated that the remaining Riverside property will be
     demolished. Accordingly, the Company recorded a $1.8 million pre-tax
     gain from reversal of the remaining reserves in the third quarter of
     1999.

     Also in the third quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company recorded a $0.5
     million pre-tax gain from reversal of a portion of the loss recorded in
     fiscal 1998 for closure of the Company's apparel fabrics weaving
     facility in Spindale, North Carolina.  Most of this gain was due to
     better-than-anticipated proceeds on the sale of equipment.

8.   Acquisition

     On April 3, 2000, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
     of Import Specialists, Inc. ("ISI") for $15.6 million in cash and the
     assumption of certain operating liabilities. The assets acquired
     consisted principally of receivables and inventory. The acquisition was
     funded with borrowings under the Company's working capital line of
     credit. ISI is an importer of home textile products, including natural
     fiber doormats and bootscrapers, throws, area and accent rugs, and
     decorative pillows. The operations have been incorporated into the home
     fashions division as the "Import Specialty Products Group." The
<PAGE>     11


     acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and the results of
     operations of the acquired business have been included in the
     consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. The
     preliminary allocation of the purchase price of ISI to the assets
     acquired resulted in goodwill of $7.8 million being recorded, which is
     being amortized over 20 years.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Comparison of Three Months Ended September 30, 2000 and October 2, 1999

NET SALES

Net sales for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 were $175.5 million, an
increase of $19.7 million or 12.6% over the third quarter of fiscal 1999.

Home Fashions

Net sales of home fashions products were $128.8 million for the third quarter
of fiscal 2000, up $19.0 million or 17.3% from the third quarter of fiscal
1999.  Incremental sales from the Import Specialists business we acquired in
April 2000 were $3.4 million.  The remainder of the increase is attributable
to the rollout of a significant program with a large mass merchant and the
introduction of some new juvenile programs.  These programs more than
compensated for a general softening in demand at retail for our home fashions
products.

Apparel Fabrics

Net sales of apparel fabrics for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 were $34.3
million, compared to $34.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 1999.  The
sales level for both periods is low by historical standards, which we believe
reflects both the decline in dress shirting at retail resulting from the
popularity of business casual dress, and the continued increase in low cost
fabric and garment imports.

Engineered Products

Net sales of engineered products for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 were
$12.3 million, up $0.7 million or 6.5% over the third quarter of fiscal 1999.
The increase reflects a strong market for this segment's products during most
of the current quarter.  In September we began to experience a softening in
demand for this segment's products.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $16.5 million for the third
quarter of fiscal 2000 (9.4% of net sales), an increase of $0.4 million or
2.5% from $16.1 million (10.3% of net sales) for the third quarter of fiscal
1999.  The increase is attributable to incremental expenses from the Import
Specialists business, offset in part by lower incentive compensation expense.

OPERATING INCOME

Consolidated operating income for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 was $19.0
million (10.8% of net sales), compared to $18.2 million (11.7% of net sales)
for the third quarter of fiscal 1999.


 <PAGE>     13

     Segment Operating Income:

Operating income for the home fashions segment was $16.5 million for the
third quarter of fiscal 2000, including $0.3 million in operating income
contributed by the Import Specialists business that we acquired in April,
2000.  This compares to $15.9 million in operating income earned in the third
quarter of fiscal 1999.  Although sales of home fashions products increased
in the third quarter of fiscal 2000, operating margins were lower due to less
efficient manufacturing performance and the increased use of outside
contractors.

Operating income for the apparel fabrics segment was $3.1 million for the
third quarter of fiscal 2000, compared to $2.1 million for the third quarter
of fiscal 1999.  The higher profitability in the third quarter of fiscal 2000
reflects improved margins due to better capacity utilization and lower cotton
prices.

The engineered products segment generated $0.5 million in operating income in
the third quarter of fiscal 2000, approximately the same as in the third
quarter of fiscal 1999.  A modest increase in gross profit associated with
the sales increase in the third quarter of fiscal 2000 was offset by higher
general and administrative expenses.

     Corporate Items:

Amortization of goodwill was $0.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2000
compared to $0.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal 1999. The increase in
fiscal 2000 is attributable to goodwill resulting from our acquisition of
Import Specialists.

Other operating costs, net for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 included a
$1.8 million pre-tax gain from reversal of reserves established in a prior
year, primarily for demolition of the Company's Riverside apparel fabrics
weaving facilities in Danville, VA.  During 1999 the Company donated the
Riverside Long Mill, one of two mill complexes which make up the Riverside
facilities, to a local nonprofit historical organization for future
renovation and development into a multi-use retail and residential facility.
Due to the donation of the Long Mill, it is no longer anticipated that the
remaining Riverside property will be demolished.  Also included in Other
operating costs, net for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 is a $0.5 million
pre-tax gain that was realized due to a better-than-anticipated recovery on
equipment that was written down in 1998 in connection with the closure of the
Company's apparel fabrics weaving facility in Spindale, NC.

Other expenses not allocated to segments totaled $0.3 million in the third
quarter of fiscal 2000 compared to $1.9 million in the third quarter of
fiscal 1999.  The fiscal 1999 amount includes $1.4 million of depreciation on
the write-up of the Company's fixed assets from its acquisition in 1989.  The
vast majority of the write-up was for manufacturing equipment that was fully
depreciated before the second quarter of fiscal 2000.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense was $8.8 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2000, up
$1.9 million over the third quarter of fiscal 1999.  Approximately 75% of the
increase was caused by higher average debt levels, with the remainder
attributable to higher average interest rates.
<PAGE>     14


INCOME TAX PROVISION

The income tax provision was $4.1 million (40.9% of pre-tax income) for the
third quarter of fiscal 2000, compared to $3.1 million (27.5% of pre-tax
income) for the third quarter of fiscal 1999.  The effect of nondeductible
goodwill amortization increased the effective tax rate for the third quarter
of fiscal 2000 by 2.7% of pre-tax income.  The lower effective tax rate in
the third quarter of fiscal 1999 is mainly attributable to a $1.5 million tax
benefit from the charitable donation of the Company's Riverside Long Mill,
which reduced the tax provision by 13.2% of pre-tax income. This was offset
in part by the effect of nondeductible goodwill amortization, which increased
the effective tax rate by 2.5% of pre-tax income.

NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Net income for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 was $6.0 million or $0.28 per
share compared to $8.2 million or $0.36 per share for the third quarter of
fiscal 1999.  Weighted average diluted shares outstanding decreased to 21.8
million for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 from 23.2 million for the third
quarter of fiscal 1999, due to the repurchase of shares under the Company's
stock repurchase program.

     Comparison of Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000 and October 2, 1999

NET SALES

Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 were $497.6 million, an
increase of $18.2 million or 3.8% over net sales of $479.4 million for the
first nine months of fiscal 1999.

Net sales of home fashions products were $348.8 million for the first nine
months of fiscal 2000, an increase of $18.2 million or 5.5% over the first
nine months of fiscal 1999.  Excluding $7.1 million in incremental sales
attributable to the acquisition of Import Specialists, net sales increased by
$11.1 million.  All of this increase occurred in the third quarter and was
attributable to the rollout of a significant program with a large mass
merchant and the introduction of some new juvenile programs.  These programs
more than offset lower sales early in fiscal 2000 caused by disruptions from
poor weather and a major information systems implementation, and the effects
of a general softening in demand for our home fashions products at retail
that began in the second quarter of 2000.

Net sales of apparel fabrics for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 were
$109.6 million, down $4.5 million or 3.9% from the first nine months of
fiscal 1999.  Most of the decrease occurred in the first six months of fiscal
2000, and is attributable to the segment's largest product category, shirting
fabrics.  Sales for the first nine months of both fiscal years were low by
historical standards, which we believe reflects both the decline in dress
shirting at retail resulting from the popularity of business casual dress,
and the continued increase in low cost fabric and garment imports.

Net sales of engineered products were $39.3 million for the first nine months
of fiscal 2000, up $4.5 million or 12.9% over the first nine months of fiscal
1999.  The increase reflects a strong market for this segment's products
<PAGE>     15


during the current year, and new fabric finishing capabilities, which have
enabled us to better meet the demand for certain of our products.  In
September 2000 we began to experience lower demand for this segment's
products.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $50.5 million for the first
nine months of fiscal 2000 (10.1% of net sales), an increase of $1.0 million
or 2.1% from $49.5 million (10.3% of net sales) for the first nine months of
fiscal 1999.  Excluding $1.4 million in incremental expenses attributable to
the Import Specialists business, selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased by $0.4 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2000 compared to
the prior year.  The decrease is attributable to lower marketing costs in the
apparel fabrics segment and lower incentive compensation, which were
partially offset by increases in information systems expenses and home
fashions design costs.

OPERATING INCOME

Consolidated operating income for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 was
$46.2 million (9.3% of net sales) compared to $40.2 million (8.4% of net
sales) for the first nine months of fiscal 1999.

     Segment Operating Income:

Operating income for the home fashions segment was $38.8 million for the
first nine months of fiscal 2000, including $0.6 million contributed by the
Import Specialists business that we acquired in April 2000.  This compares to
$39.8 million in operating income earned in the first nine months of fiscal
1999.  The decrease is generally attributable to increases in information
systems expenses and design costs, which were offset in part by lower
incentive compensation.  The Import Specialists business contributed $2.0
million in gross profit in fiscal 2000. Otherwise, gross profit was about
equal in the first nine months of fiscal 2000 compared to the first nine
months of fiscal 1999.  Although sales of home fashions products increased in
fiscal 2000, operating margins were lower due to less efficient manufacturing
performance and the increased use of outside contractors.

Operating income for the apparel fabrics segment was $9.5 million for the
first nine months of fiscal 2000, compared to $3.2 million for the first nine
months of fiscal 1999.  The better operating results were due to improved
margins and lower selling, general and administrative expenses, which more
than offset the effect of the decrease in sales.  The improved margins
reflect better capacity utilization and lower raw material costs in fiscal
2000.  Per unit costs for goods sold in fiscal 1999, particularly in the
first half of the year, were high due to the under-absorption of fixed costs
resulting from operating on reduced running schedules as we worked off excess
inventories.

The engineered products segment generated $2.1 in operating income for the
first nine months of fiscal 2000 compared to $2.0 million in the first nine
months of fiscal 1999.  Although revenues increased by $4.5 million in the
<PAGE>     16


first nine months of fiscal 2000, less efficient manufacturing performance
and higher general and administrative expenses in fiscal 2000 negatively
impacted operating margins.

     Corporate Items:

Amortization of goodwill was $2.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal
2000, compared to $2.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 1999.  The
increase in fiscal 2000 is attributable to goodwill resulting from our April
2000 acquisition of Import Specialists.

Other operating costs, net for the first nine months of fiscal 1999 consisted
of the net gains recorded in the third quarter (discussed above) related to
the reversal of the Riverside reserves ($1.8 million pre-tax) and the sale of
equipment that was written down in 1998 ($0.5 million pre-tax).

Other expenses not allocated to segments totaled $1.9 million in the first
nine months of fiscal 2000 compared to $5.0 million in the first nine months
of fiscal 1999. The fiscal 2000 amount includes $1.3 million of depreciation
on the write-up of the Company's fixed assets from its acquisition in 1989,
compared to $4.2 million in the prior year.  The vast majority of the write-
up was for manufacturing equipment that was fully depreciated before the
second quarter of fiscal 2000.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense was $24.0 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2000,
up $2.7 million over the first nine months of fiscal 1999.  Higher average
debt levels and higher average interest rates each contributed about equally
to the increase.

INCOME TAX PROVISION

The income tax provision was $9.5 million (42.0% of pre-tax income) for the
first nine months of fiscal 2000, compared to $6.6 million (34.2% of pre-tax
income) for the first nine months of fiscal 1999. The effect of nondeductible
goodwill amortization increased the effective tax rate for the first nine
months of fiscal 2000 by 3.7% of pre-tax income.  The lower effective tax
rate in the first nine months of fiscal 1999 is mainly attributable to a $1.5
million tax benefit from the charitable donation of the Company's Riverside
Long Mill, which reduced the tax provision by 7.8% of pre-tax income. This
was offset in part by the effect of nondeductible goodwill amortization,
which increased the effective tax rate by 4.2% of pre-tax income.

NET INCOME AND EARNINGS PER SHARE

Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2000 was $13.0 million or
$0.59 per share (diluted) compared to $12.7 million or $0.54 per share
(diluted) for the first nine months of fiscal 1999. Weighted average diluted
shares outstanding decreased to 22.1 million for the first nine months of
fiscal 2000 from 23.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 1999, due
to the repurchase of shares under the Company's stock repurchase program.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

General

We believe that internally generated cash flow, supplemented by borrowings
under our working capital line of credit, will be sufficient to meet our
foreseeable debt service requirements, capital expenditures, and working
capital needs.  We had a debt to total capital ratio of 58.2% at September
30, 2000.

Credit Facilities

We maintain a credit facility comprised of a $122.9 million term loan and a
$150 million secured working capital line of credit.  This credit facility is
secured by our accounts receivable and inventories. As of September 30, 2000,
$130.9 million was used and $19.1 million was unused and available for
borrowing under the working capital line of credit.

The credit facility bears interest at the Base Rate plus applicable
percentage, as defined (9.63% as of November 7, 2000) or LIBOR plus
applicable percentage (8.12% as of November 7, 2000), for periods of one,
two, three or six months, at our option.  The working capital line is non-
amortizing and any amounts outstanding are due at the final maturity of
September 30, 2003.

The term loan was fully borrowed for $125 million at its inception in October
of 1998 and has scheduled amortization payments which began this fiscal year.
In June, we added $12.9 million of new debt to the term loan.  As of
September 30, the outstanding under the term loan is $122.9 million.  One
more quarterly payment of $5 million is scheduled for this fiscal year.

The credit facility is provided pursuant to a loan agreement which contains
certain covenants, including the maintenance of certain interest coverage
ratio and maximum debt levels, and limitations on mergers and consolidations,
affiliated transactions, incurring liens, disposing of assets and limitations
on investments. An event of default under the loan agreement includes Change
of Control (as defined) as well as non-compliance with certain other
provisions.

Working Capital

Net cash used by operating activities was $25.8 million in the nine months
ended September 30, 2000. Included in that amount is a use of cash from
operating assets and liabilities of $77.7 million, comprised of a $69.9
million use from operating working capital (accounts receivable - $26.9
million use, inventories - $46.2 million use, and accounts payable and
accrued expenses - $3.1 million source) and a $7.8 million use of cash for
prepaid expenses and other assets and other liabilities.

During the comparable nine month period ended October 2, 1999, net cash
generated from operating activities was $52.5 million, of which $49.1 million
was generated by net income plus noncash items (net). Operating assets and
liabilities generated an additional $3.4 million, primarily comprised of a
$2.4 million source for operating working capital (accounts receivable - $6.4

<PAGE>     18


million source, inventories - $5.3 million source, and accounts payable and
accrued expenses - $9.3 million use) and a $1.0 million net source of cash
for prepaid expenses and other assets, and other liabilities.

Capital Improvements and Acquisitions

During the first nine months of fiscal 2000, we purchased $27.8 million in
equipment and manufacturing improvements.  On April 3, 2000, we acquired
substantially all of the assets of Import Specialists, Inc. (ISI) for $15.6
million in cash, and the assumption of certain operating liabilities.

Share Repurchase

At the beginning of this fiscal year, we had $5 million remaining of a $10
million share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors in
August 1999.  Shares repurchased pursuant to this program are retired and
constitute authorized but unissued shares.  During the first nine months of
fiscal 2000 we repurchased 877,225 shares for $4.6 million.  We have $0.4
million remaining under the authorization for repurchase of shares.  No
shares were repurchased during the third quarter.
