A knitted fabric () including a plurality of parallel chains of knitted loops (), with each chain of knitted loops () formed from a respective yarn, and with the parallel chains of knitted loops () extending in the warp or vertical direction. The fabric () also includes a plurality of weft yarns (), with each weft yarn () connected to and extending across at least two adjacent chains of knitted loops (). Each chain of knitted loops () is also associated with at least one respective yarn, () that is connected to, and intertwines along the chain of knitted loops ().

Knitted fabric

A knitted mesh fabric including an open framework of longitudinally and transversely extending knitted threads, and a plurality of resiliently, longitudinally extendible threads laid in the open framework in at least one direction. The open framework is contracted in the at least one direction when the resiliently extendible threads are in a relaxed or non-extended condition, whereby the open framework can be extended in the at least one direction causing the resiliently extendible threads to resiliently extend and the fabric to resiliently stretch.

Knitted mesh fabric

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