<p>A method for producing a warp or weft knitted fabric on a knitting machine, the fabric having a first, elastomeric fibrous component, a second, non-elastomeric, fibrous component and optionally a third or more, non-elastomeric, fibrous components characterised in that at least part of the second fibrous component is knitted into the fabric with a long float such that when the fabric is removed from the knitting machine, the elastomeric first component contracts such that the long floats of the non-elastomeric second component are forced into free standing loops to provide a loop pile on the fabric. Desirably the free standing loops are cropped to produce a pile fabric in which the second fibrous component is in essentially discontinuous lengths, each of which is in general associated with one stitch only.</p> |
