         2 . The reflective fabric according to  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of warps comprise a first warp combination and a second warp combination, and the reflective yarn is arranged between the first warp combination and the second warp combination. 
     
     
         3 . The reflective fabric according to  claim 2 , wherein the first warp combination is yarns of a single color repeatedly arranged for 18 times, and the second warp combination is yarns of a single color repeatedly arranged for 6 times or 3 times. 
     
     
         4 . The reflective fabric according to  claim 3 , wherein the color of the yarns of the first warp combination is different from the color of the yarns of the second warp combination. 
     
     
         5 . The reflective fabric according to  claim 4 , wherein the plurality of reflective yarns occupy 1% to 25% of the reflective fabric by weight. 
     
     
         6 . The reflective fabric according to  claim 4 , wherein the plurality of reflective yarns are distanced from one another by 0.5 cm to 30 cm. 
     
     
         7 .

         8 . The reflective fabric according to  claim 7 , wherein the reflective yarn is arranged between the N th  arrangement order and the (N+1) th  arrangement order. 
     
     
         9 . The reflective fabric according to  claim 8 , wherein the color of the yarns of the first warp combination is different from the color of the yarns of the second warp combination. 
     
     
         10 . The reflective fabric according to  claim 9 , wherein the plurality of reflective yarns occupy 1% to 25% of the reflective fabric by weight. 
     
     
         11 . A manufacturing method for a reflective fabric, comprising:
 providing a plurality of warps;   providing a plurality of wefts; and   providing a plurality of reflective yarns, wherein each of the reflective yarns is arranged between the plurality of warps or the plurality of wefts, and is interleaved with the plurality of warps and the reflective yarn to form the reflective fabric.   
     
     
         12 . The manufacturing method for a reflective fabric according to  claim 11 , wherein the plurality of warps comprise a first warp combination and a second warp combination, and the reflective yarn is arranged between the first warp combination and the second warp combination. 
     
     
         13 . The manufacturing method for a reflective fabric according to  claim 12 , wherein the first warp combination is yarns of a single color repeatedly arranged for 18 times, and the second warp combination is yarns of a single color repeatedly arranged for 6 times or 3 times. 
     
     
         14 . The manufacturing method for a reflective fabric according to  claim 13 , wherein the color of the yarns of the first warp combination is different from the color of the yarns of the second warp combination. 
     
     
         15 . The manufacturing method for a reflective fabric according to  claim 14 , wherein the plurality of reflective yarns occupy 1% to 25% of the reflective fabric by weight. 
     
     
         16 . The manufacturing method for a reflective fabric according to  claim 14 , wherein the plurality of reflective yarns are distanced from one another by 0.5 cm to 30 cm.
