1. A composite textile comprising:
a first layer formed from a two-yarn composite that includes a first yarn formed from a plurality of meta-aramid fibers and a second yarn formed from a plurality of polyester fibers;
wherein the first layer extends along a longitudinal axis; and
a second layer formed from the two-yarn composite and abutting the first layer along the longitudinal axis;
wherein the first yarn has a first surface having a first surface finish;
wherein the second yarn has a second surface spaced opposite the first surface and having a second surface finish that is smoother than the first surface finish;
wherein the first yarn includes a plurality of hooks each extending from the first surface toward the second surface;
wherein the first layer includes a first plurality of micro-ridges disposed along the first surface and the second layer includes a second plurality of micro-ridges disposed along the second surface; and
wherein the first plurality of micro-ridges and the second plurality of micro-ridges interact to generate friction between the first layer and the second layer and limit movement of the first layer and the second layer with respect to one another as the composite textile extends along the longitudinal axis in response to a tensile force.
