Abstract: Improved elastic yarn package includes a plurality of individual yarn strands of highly elastic material, the fabric being formed with a first and second face and which is warp knitted in the form of an elongated tape from which a number of yarn strands can be unravelled for feeding to a fabric manufacturing device; the knit pattern for the individual strands permits unravelling as well as splitting of the web and does not cause the fabric to curl or twist on itself by using a knitting pattern for the individual strands where the individual yarn strands do not cross wales after forming a loop but only cross to an adjacent wale after being formed into two succeeding loops in adjacent courses.
