Abstract: A non-slip knitted lace fabric has opposed first and second surfaces of yarn and a stretchable tacky layer of cured and foamed, oleophobic and hydrophobic plastisol disposed at least partially on one of the first and second surfaces to provide enhanced frictional engagement of the fabric with a surface adjacent to the tacky layer. Preferably the fabric has a loop-forming yarn knitted therein so as to provide a plurality of loops of the loop-forming yarn as the one surface. The tacky layer extends through the openings of at least some of the loops. Optimally, the loop-forming yarn is elastic and tacky.
