There is provided a method for preventing deknitting of knitted tubular articles or garments such as gloves, socks, and the like. Accordingly, the edge of the tubular article or garment is provided with a plurality of horizontally knit rows of thread or yarn which are stretchable or elastic, and a vertical stretchable or elastic yarn or thread is knitted over and around 2 to 12 rows of the horizontal knit rows with gradually increasing tension so as to cause the edge to curl or roll over as a result of the vertical knit.

Method to prevent deknitting

A method for producing a multi layer protective textile fabric having a base fabric layer with pre-selected areas fibers of a heavier denier or different material inserted pursuant to a computer program and the articles produced thereby. There is also provided a glove prepared by the method comprising different denier fibers and kind of fibers at pre-selected locations having a base unilayer and at least one other layer.

Fabric with reinforcing parts

The present invention relates to a unilayer flexible performance fabric which may be fabricated into apparel and articles having high performance fibers, such as high tensile modulus fibers positioned within a base fabric in at least one preselected location only where required to import performance characteristics which are equal to or exceed the specifications for the garment. For example, if cut resistance is a requirement, performance fibers which provide such protection from this hazard would be used. Likewise, if abrasion resistance is intended for an apparel such as coveralls, only the knees and elbows would require the performance fiber. Thus, reducing the amount of expensive fibers normally used. The invented fabric is manufacturede in a method in which the placement of the fabric in preselected locations is computer controlled.

Unilayer fabric with reinforcing parts

A method of producing a unilayer textile fabric having in preselected areas fibers of a heavier denier inserted pursuant to a computer program and the articles produced thereby. There is also provided a glove prepared by the method comprising heavier denier fibers at preselected locations.
