Warp knitted fabric with satin-like back and brushable face and method of knitting same

摘要

A three-bar warp knitted fabric having a brushable pile surface at its technical face and a satin-like surface at its technical back is produced on a three-bar warp knitting machine by knitting overfed pile yarns on the machine's bottom bar to produce brushable pile loops at the fabric's technical face, knitting satin-effect yarns on the machine's middle bar in extended underlaps to produce a satin-like technical back of the fabric and knitting relative smaller denier tie-down yarns on the machine's top bar in a chain stitch pattern to also extend at the fabric's technical back in crossing relationship to the satin-effect yarn underlaps to shield them from picking without significantly obstructing their satin-like appearance.
