ABSTRACT:
A narrow woven stretch fabric is formed from bare elastomeric warp threads separated by high shrink warp threads and from a high shrink weft thread. The edge elastomeric warp threads are loosely wrapped with heat set yarn. These edge threads, which are under the same tension as the other elastomeric warp threads, are wrapped between the supply and the loom. The weft thread is interwoven at a low weft per inch and the fabric is heat treated to shrink the non-elastic high shrink threads and corrugate the elastomeric threads without heat setting. The wrapping device and the surface feed rollers for the elastomeric threads are driven by the loom drive at appropriate speeds.
