This invention relates to a production method of plush fabric. Traditional plush fabric is commonly made of a chinlon material, and is easily subject to aging in sun exposure, and the fastness to light is not high; the height of villus is generally about 1.7mm, the gram weight is 230+/-8g/m<2>, and the tactile sensation of the fabric is too light or too drifting. In the invention, terylene yarns are taken as a bottom fabric material, rayon is taken as a villus material, a double tricot machine is used to weave high-density double-layer fabric; after being taken down form the machine, the fabric is subject to width slitting to obtain plush grey cloth in an artificial silk coil structure, after dyeing, the fabric is subject to bronzing, discharge printing and/or burnt discharge, and down pile making does not need to be carried out by a coning machine before bronzing; in a weaving step, a five-comb structure is used, wherein, four combs are fully drawn with polyester yarns and distributed on top and down, and one comb is fully drawn with the rayon. The product of the invention has good resistance to fastness to light, the height of the villus can be 3.5mm, the gram weight can reach 315g/m<2>, the hand feel is soft, the luster is bright and the drapability is good.
