ABSTRACT:
A reversible knit fabric having a first surface of a first color and a second surface of a second color is described. The fabric is integrally knit on a dual-bed weft knitting machine so that each of the surfaces of the fabric is visually distinct from the other. The fabric also includes an arrangement of cellular-like mesh openings on each face thereof, so as to provide a fabric which has good breathability and appearance. In addition, the fabric has good durability, elasticity, and washability. As a result, the fabric is particularly useful in the manufacture of athletic apparel. Furthermore, because the fabric has a visually distinct appearance on each of its two sides, it can be used to produce reversible garments such as jerseys for use in scrimmages.
A process for knitting the fabric is also described.
