The invention relates to a process for manufacturing a multilayer knitted textile by heating a multi-layer knitted textile in the presence of one or more dye compounds, wherein the multilayer knitted textile comprises a fabric outer layer and a fabric inner layer, wherein the fabric outer layer is knit from a first yarn containing a combination of modacrylic fibers and cotton fibers, wherein the fabric inner layer is knit from a second yarn made from 50-90% HBA/HNA filaments, wherein the heating shrinks the outer layer from about 5 to 25% in length, width, or both.
