Abstract: The invention relates to a garment (10; 100) including a knitted, circumferentially-extending welt portion having a anti-slip zone (50) comprising a high friction yarn (61, 62, 63) integrally formed on a inner face of a main garment portion (11; 110) such that the high friction yarn contacts a wearer's skin to increase the anti-slip properties of the garment. The invention also relates to a method for constructing such a garment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a covered yarn for constituting at least a portion of a remedial-support article. In accordance with the invention, the covered yarn is formed of an elastic central core of translucent material, and of at least one covering yarn, likewise of translucent material, and wrapped around the central core. The invention also provides a remedial-support article in which at least the essential portion is constituted by the above-specified covered yarn. In particular, when the remedial-support article comprises a knitted face yarn and a weft yarn, it is advantageous for the weft yarn to be constituted by the above-specified covered yarn, the face yarn itself being constituted either by a traditional yarn, or else likewise by the above-specified covered yarn.
