Compression fabrics with tailored comfort

A compression article, comprising:

• at least two uniform compression regions, including a first uniform compression region having a first compression pressure and a second uniform compression region having a second compression pressure;
• and
• at least one transitioning compression region, including a first transitioning compression region positioned between the first and second uniform compression regions, the first transitioning compression region comprising a first end adjacent or proximate to the first uniform compression region and a second end adjacent or proximate to the second uniform compression region;
• wherein the first transitioning compression region comprises a compression pressure gradient extending from the first end to the second end of the first transitioning compression region, wherein a magnitude of said compression pressure gradient is lower at a region adjacent to said first uniform compression region and at a second region adjacent to said second uniform compression region than a magnitude of said compression pressure gradient located between said first and second adjacent regions, and
• wherein the first uniform compression region comprises at least predominantly a first yarn, the second uniform compression region comprises predominantly a second yarn, wherein the first uniform compression region, the second uniform compression region, and the first transitioning compression region extend around a circumference of the compression article.
