PCT No. PCT/GB90/01472 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 25, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 25, 1992 PCT Filed Sep. 25, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO91/04844 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 18, 1991.A heat recoverable wraparound fabric sleeve comprises 7-13 heat recoverable fibers in one direction and 4-8 fibers some of which are heat recoverable and some of which are heat stable in a perpendicular direction. This sleeve has particularly useful recovery behavior where recovery ratios are less than 40% and where an auxiliary patch is used to bond overlapping edges of the wraparound sleeve to each other.
