A polytetrafluoroethylene textile and manufacturing method thereof is disclosed. a pretreatment process is performed on a plurality of polytetrafluoroethylene yarns. In the pretreatment process, a step of extending the polytetrafluoroethylene yarns are extended, the polytetrafluoroethylene yarns are knitted into a polytetrafluoroethylene fabric, the shape of the polytetrafluoroethylene fabric is fixed, and the polytetrafluoroethylene fabric are de-knitted into the polytetrafluoroethylene yarns with a plurality of knit-assisting parts. A second knitting process is performed to knit the polytetrafluoroethylene yarns and a plurality of artificial yarns together to obtain the polytetrafluoroethylene textile.

A knitted-fabric part including a basic part knitted with at least one knitted-fabric thread, and at least one extension part attached to the basic part to form a contiguous and intact structure. At least one unravelable connecting thread attaches the basic part to the at least one extension part, such that removal of the at least one unravelable connecting thread separates the basic part from the at least one extension part.

The present disclosure provides an upper for an article of footwear. The upper may include a knit element defining a portion of at least one of an exterior surface of the upper and an opposite interior surface of the upper. The interior surface may define a void. A tongue and the knit element may have a common yarn, and the tongue may extend through a throat area of the upper. The tongue may comprise a lateral edge, a medial edge, and a forward portion. At least one of the lateral edge, the medial edge, and the forward portion may be unsecured to the knit element. The tongue may be secured to the knit element at least at one of the lateral edge, the medial edge, and the forward portion of the throat area.

A device is provided including a textile article. The textile article includes a leading edge comprising an open loop and a secured loose end. The device further includes a piece of hardware threaded through the open loop. The textile article is configured to easily unravel by removing the piece of hardware from the open loop and pulling upon the secured loose end.

Tinkles (also known as gotchas) (see reference number 20 in FIGS. 1 and 2) are portions of knitted metal loops produced when a tube of knitted wire mesh is cut into individual pieces. In the prior art, tinkles have been considered a fact of life and the approach has been to try to shake them out of the mesh or immobilize them on or in the mesh. By producing a knitted tube (11) having alternating segments (12,13) of knitted rows of yarn and knitted rows of wire, completely tinkle-free knitted socks are produced which are used to produce completely tinkle-free knitted wire mesh filters. Knitted wire mesh filters that cannot release tinkles because they do not have any tinkles can be used in such applications as fuel filters and airbag filters.
