A knit fabric is also provided that has an interlock pattern including at least two continuous copper filament paths per layer. A further knit fabric is provided that includes a spacer fabric knit having a first layer of knit copper fabric interconnected with a second layer of knit copper fabric. Methods of making the knit fabrics are provided, including twisting or wrapping at least one continuous copper filament with a load- carrying yarn. The load-carrying yarn exhibits a minimum bend radius that wraps around an object having a diameter of 0.43 millimeters. The methods further include setting at least one tension setting on a knitting machine and using a knitting program that defines a plurality of stitch settings to knit a fabric.
