摘要

A knit article having an edge portion subject to raveling with the article including plurality of knitting courses in said edge portion. Each of the edge portion knitting courses is knitted with a composite heat fusible yarn comprising a core including at least one low melt core strand and at least one cover strand wrapped around the core in a first direction. The cover strand is wrapped around the core at a rate suitable to partially cove r the core while leaving exposed a sufficient amount of the core to facilitate a bond to an adjacent yam strand in a knit structure upon application of heat to the core.
