Modified every course elastified knitted fabrics and garments thereof

Abstract

Fabrics prepared from a modified every course style with courses of spandex covered with rigid yarn and bare spandex plated with rigid yarn and their use in production of fabrics and elastified knitted garments are provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to fabrics prepared from modified per-course patterns having courses of spandex covered with rigid yarns and bare spandex covered with rigid yarns and their use in the production of elastic knitted garments. Background technique [0002] Two traditional options for incorporating spandex into garments such as hosiery include Figure 1A Each row pattern depicted in and as Figure 1B The alternating row pattern depicted in . Elastane may be covered with, for example, polyamide, or may be bare, and as in Figure 1A Each row depicted in or as Figure 1B Alternating course knitting as depicted in . [0003] Garments such as every course panty hose (ECPH) contain balanced stitches and generally provide higher quality garments. Typically, the spandex is covered. ECPH provides a balanced smooth appearance and uniform freedom of movement. However, knitting ECPHs where yarn quality is critical can be challenging, thus making ECP...

Problems solved by technology

However, in sheer ACPH, the garments are generally less comfortable, with less uniformity in the weft loops, and the resistance to unraveling is not possible with known industrial techniques
