ABSTRACT:
An elastic warp knit fabric having ravel resistant features made of a number of base yarns which are knitted to form a plurality of closed loops extending in a warp direction to form wales including interior wales, an end wale and an adjacent wale adjacent to the end wale. Elastic yarns are laid into the adjacent wale and interior wales. Filler yarns are included which extend in a weft direction and which are laid into the closed loops of each course. A locking yarn to prevent unraveling of the end wale is knitted into the end wale to form open loops in alternate courses and knitted into the adjacent wale to form closed loops in alternate courses.
The end wale may have the elastic yarn eliminated therefrom in order to form a soft edge of the fabric in which event the adjacent wale then has a further elastic yarn to compensate for the elastic yarn removed from the end wale. A further filler yarn is included in the closed loops of the end wale and the adjacent wale and a still further filler yarn included in the closed loops of the interior wales and the adjacent wale in order that the fabric may be balanced. In addition a further locking yarn may be knitted into the adjacent wale to form open loops in alternate courses and in a further adjacent wale to form closed loops in alternate courses to provide an additional protection against unraveling of the yarns comprising the end wale and adjacent wales.
