KNIT ARTICLE HAVING RAVEL-RESISTANT EDGE PORTION AND COMPOSITE YARN FOR MAKING RAVEL-RESISTANT KNIT ARTICLE

摘要

PURPOSE: A knit article obtained by knitting at least one fusible yarn strand comprising low melt fiber and at least one additional strand at an edge portion is provided. The knit article such as knitted gloves capable of preventing raveling at an edge portion can be prepared with reduced labor power, manufacturing time and costs. CONSTITUTION: A knit article such as knitted gloves having an edge portion subject to raveling includes a plurality of knitting courses in the edge portion. Each of the edge portion knitting courses is knitted with at least one strand of a heat fusible yarn which includes a)at least one low melt fiber strand and b)at least one additional strand. The low melt fiber strand and the other strand are combined by air interlacing to create a single combined strand and to expose a sufficient amount of the one low melt fiber strand to facilitate a bond to an adjacent yarn strand.
