Abstract: A knit fabric wherein at least a portion of the interconnected yarn loops are formed from segments of a common yarn of multi-filament construction. In the fabric the common yarn includes a first group of yarn segments having a first average cross-sectional filament area and at least a second group of yarn segments having a second average cross-sectional filament area. The second average cross-sectional filament area is greater than the first average cross-sectional filament area. The average level of crystalline orientation of the first group of yarn segments is greater than the average level of crystalline orientation of the second group of yarn segments.

Abstract: A member adherably mounted to a shower wall to overlie broken and discolored portions contiguous when adjacent shower stall and bathtub valves and nozzles is provided, including a central planar mounting plate formed with a perimeter flange of a "U" shaped configuration, with a mounting flange positioned about the perimeter flange to accommodate caulking and water sealing compounds thereon. The patch member accordingly provides for a securable mounting arrangement that in a modified form utilizes various peel-away layers to provide various patterns to accommodate adjacent tile structure.
