Abstract
A method of manufacturing an at least partially knitted artifact () includes knitting at least one multilayer fabric sheet () having at least a first layer () made with a first yarn (), of animal, plant, synthetic and/or artificial origin, and at least a second layer (), made with a second, heat-shrinking yarn (). The first and second layers () being at least partially interconnected in respective knitting stitches (), during the knitting operation. The multilayer fabric sheet () is shaped according to a predefined shape. The multilayer sheet () is subjected to heat treatment to obtain predefined shrinkage of the second heat-shrinking yarn () and a dimensional stabilization of the sheet. The second yarn () forms a bearing structure of the multi-layer sheet () and the multilayer sheet () is assembled to form the artefact () by stitching and/or gluing edges of the dimensionally stabilized sheet.
