Abstract
A multi-direction stretch fabric includes a warp formed from first wrapped elastic fibers (e.g., nylon wrapped spandex) and a weft formed from a non-stretch fiber (e.g., wool) interlaced through the warp in a repeating half basket pattern alternating with a second wrapped elastic fiber (e.g., nylon wrapped spandex) interlaced through the warp in a repeating plain weave pattern.

A multi-direction stretch fabric, comprising:
- a warp formed from first wrapped elastic fibers;
- and
- a weft formed from a non-stretch fiber interlaced through the warp in a repeating half basket pattern alternating with a second wrapped elastic fiber interlaced through the warp in a repeating plain weave pattern.
A multi-direction stretch fabric, comprising:
- a warp formed from first nylon wrapped elastic fibers;
- and
- a weft formed from a non-stretch fiber interlaced through the warp in a repeating half basket pattern alternating with a second nylon wrapped elastic fiber interlaced through the warp in a repeating plain weave pattern.
A method of forming a multi-stretch fabric, comprising:
- orienting first wrapped elastic fibers to form a warp;
- and
- alternatively interlacing a non-stretch fiber through the warp in a repeating half basket pattern and a second wrapped elastic fiber through the warp in a repeating plain weave pattern to form a weft.
