Abstract
An integrally formed stretch warp knit fabric structure formed using at least three guide bars, a fully or partly threaded first front guide bar, a second fully or partly threaded middle guide bar and third fully or partly threaded back guide bar that are knitted to form one single layer fabric having a definitive two-sided qualities; and a method of making the fabric; and articles using said fabric.
Claims36
A fabric comprising:
- a two-sided single layer warp knit fabric comprising
- a first side formed by stitches of a first yarn,
- a second side formed by a stitch evaded portion of a second yarn, and
- an elastomeric or stretch yarn having an elongation at break of greater than 100%, said elastomeric or stretch yarn incorporated into the fabric, wherein the elastomeric or stretch yarn forces the stitch evaded portion of the second yarn to the second side, and wherein the fabric is integrally formed using at least three guide bars such that the first and second sides have at least one different quality from the other side, thereby providing a fabric for use alone or as an article including the fabric.
