<p>A patterned elasticated lingerie trimming, suitable for the elastic waistbands of lingerie and underwear, can be knitted on a warp knitting machine by knitting covered or naked elastomer yarn (2) as the sole warp yarn on every needle (4) of the knitting machine, and laying-in one or more pattern yarns as weft yarns (3). The elastomer yarn (2) is knitted at very carefully controlled tension, and on relaxation of that tension after knitting, the fabric contracts in width and develops the pattern which is provided by the weft pattern yarns. The problem of run-back of the elastomer yarn is substantially or completely removed.</p> |
