The invention relates to a method for manufacturing and/or treating a fabric, knitting in particular, preferably for producing a single-jersey fabric, a derivative thereof or the like, is carried out with a knitting machine, such as a circular, flat-bed, straight-bar, loop-wheel machine or the like, comprising at least knitting elements (1), such as yarn supply elements and loop forming elements (1a), such as needles, sinkers and/or the like, in cooperation therewith for producing a fabric from continuous yarn, such as one or a plurality of untwisted, S-, Z-twisted yarns and/or alike yarn, by knitting, and take-up elements (2) for receiving the resulting fabric. The spirality of an obtained fabric is eliminated at a first stage (A) on one hand by altering the number of twists/unit of length and/or the relative length of distortion-causing loop legs, whereafter the obtained fabric is on the other hand at a second stage (B), preferably during the course of fabric finishing or alike operation, subjected to at least one after-treatment, wherein the fabric is straightened in terms of its wales and/or courses for resetting the loop legs to a substantially equal length. The invention also relates to an apparatus for implementing the method.
