Abstract: Circular knit, elastic fabrics (10) of at least one of single jersey, French terry, and fleece are disclosed that include a bare elastomeric material (12) plated with spun and/or continuous filament hard yarns (14) . The circular knit, elastic fabrics of at least one of single jersey, French terry, and fleece are manufactured by a method that does not require a dry heat setting step. The method requires drafting the bare elastomeric material no more than about 2.5x its original length when knitting to form the circular knit, elastic fabrics of at least one of single jersey, French terry, and fleece.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for knitting fabric with bare spandex comprising: providing bare spandex yarn; providing hard yarn; drafting the bare spandex; knitting fabric from the hard yarn and the drafted bare spandex with the hard yarn and the drafted bare spandex plated in every course; and contacting the knit fabric with a continuous phase aqueous solution under conditions of temperature and pressure for a time sufficient to set the bare spandex without heating the knit fabric on a tenter frame above 160° C. in air having a relative humidity of less than 50%. The invention further provides a bare spandex-containing knit fabric containing spandex in every knit course that has been exposed to manufacturing process temperature no higher than 160° C. as shown by molecular weight analysis of the spandex and that exhibits wash shrinkage of less than about 14%.

Abstract: Circular knit, elastic fabrics (10) of at least one of single jersey, French terry, and fleece are disclosed that include a bare elastomeric material (12) plated with spun and/or continuous filament hard yarns (14). The circular knit, elastic fabrics of at least one of single jersey, French terry, and fleece are manufactured by a method that does not require a dry heat setting step. The method requires drafting the bare elastomeric material no more than about 7x its original length when knitting to form the circular knit, elastic, single jersey, French terry, or fleece fabric. The method includes contacting the knit fabric with an aqueous solution under very low tension and under conditions of temperature and pressure for a period of time sufficient to substantially set the elastomeric material.
