Abstract
A differentially transversely knit pile fabric is provided which is adapted to experience non-linear stretching in a transverse direction, and, when so stretched, longitudinally extending patterns therein which have been differentially knitted in a compensating manner become distorted so as to be of standardized or predetermined widths relative to one another. Preferably, such fabric after typically being knitted on a circular knitting machine is slit into a sheet form and then is stabilized by application to the backing thereof of a coating composition. After being stabilized with the aid of such a stabilizing composition coated thereon, the product fabric is capable of retaining its dimensional integrity.
