<p>An elastic net for wrapping a food product, such as a joint of meat, poultry, fish or dairy products, or for use as stockinette for holding dressings or bandages in place on a patient, comprises a plurality of long chain warp yarns (12) knitted with an elastic weft yarn (16). The weft yarn comprises a synthetic elastic material such as synthetic polyisoprene or silicone and has a rectilinear cross-section. The use of a synthetic elastic yarn may eliminate allergy problems. The rectilinear cross-section helps prevent the yarn from rolling in use and so improves the stable positioning of the net. The weft yarn may be formed by moulding, slitting and/or cutting and is preferably of square cross-section. The netting will preferably withstand a temperature of around 210 degrees centigrade.</p> |
