A woven fabric comprising warp and weft yarns is characterized in that the warp yarns comprise a plurality of elasticized yarns and twisted inelastic yarns arranged such that the inelastic yarns are in pairs of like twist, with two elastic yarns between. Alternate pairs of inelastic yarn are of opposing direction of twist. Such fabrics may be used for medical bandages such as elasticized adhesive or non-adhesive bandages and support or compression garments such as stockings. |
