Abstract
Abstract An improved panty hose garment is prepared having a panty portion containing cotton yarn in non-consecutive courses and yarn of synthetic resin such as nylon in the intervening courses. The course of cotton yarn is formed so that loops of the cotton yarn protrude from the inner surface of the hosiery fabric. The presence of the cotton yarn eliminates or reduces static electricity and thereby prevents outer garments from clinging to the wearer.
