Abstract
A warp knitted fabric (1) including an open framework (2) of longitudinally and transversely extending knitted threads (3,4,5). The longitudinally extending threads (3) are spaced apart a predetermined distance (D). A plurality of material strips (9) laid in the open framework (2) along the spaces (8) between the longitudinally extending threads (3). The material strips (9) each have a width (W) which is greater than the predetermined distance (D) between adjacent longitudinally extending threads (3) so as to extend fully between the adjacent threads (3) and maintain that full extension upon lateral stretch of the fabric (1).
