Abstract: A knit fabric is made of a combination of a corespun yarn having a core of a resilient continuous filament yarn covered by a cotton fiber and a cotton yarn. These yarns are knit together in such a manner that one side of the knit fabric exposes only one of the yarns while the other side of the knit fabric exposes the knit combination of both yarns. The knit fabric is easily and comfortably manipulated while possessing improved mechanical properties such as strength, durability, and stretch and recovery.

Abstract: A knitted fabric for recreational clothing which has a first yarn on both the first side and the second side of the fabric and a second yarn on only the first side of the fabric, the yarns having been knit by a repeat knitting process on a double-knitting machine where the second yarn is knit only on the dial needles and the first yarn is knit on both the dial needles and the cylinder needles so as to provide the knitted fabric with a high degree of strength and recovery. The second yarn is comfortable against one's skin while facilitating with the first yarn the provision of the desirable strength and recovery characteristics.
