Abstract
Abstract Open warp knit technology is applied to a fabric having nonelastomeric yarn on the front bar and elastomeric yarn on the back bar to reduce the number of pinch points between the yarns of the fabric and improve its recovery property. The nonelastomeric yarn is knit in an open stitch construction and the elastomeric yarn is knit in a closed stitch construction.
