Protective gloves and the like and a yarn with flexible core wrapped with aramid fiber

A yarn for use in making high strength items comprising a flexible core, a pair of wrapping strands of aramid fiber wound on the exterior of said core, one of said strands being wound in a clockwise direction and the other of the strands being wound in a counterclockwise direction, said core being constructed of flexible annealed wire and having a diameter up to a maximum of 0.1", said wrapping strands completely encasing said core whereby the yarn may pass through standard fabric yarn handling and processing machinery to form various products, said wire being stainless steel having a diameter ranging between 0.004" to 0.006" plus or minus 0.0005 ", said core including an aramid fiber strand alongside of the wire strand.
