The disclosure provides a woven fabric, wherein all warp and weft yarns may be elastic. One or more of the weft and warp yarns may have a stretchable core comprising a first elastic fiber and a second fiber that may be less elastic than said first fiber. The elastic warp yarns may have a twist level with a twist multiplier in the range of 2.5 to 6. In embodiments, a woven fabric may include all warp and weft yarns being elastic, all weft and warp yarns having a stretchable core comprising a first elastic fiber and a second fiber that is less elastic than said first fiber, and the elasticity of the fabric in warp direction is at least 25% and elasticity of the fabric in weft direction (E.sub.weft) is at least 25%, preferably at least 30%, more preferably 40%. In embodiments, the elasticity of the fabric in the warp direction may be at least 25%.

A yarn is produced by twisting an organic yarn and a synthetic yarn. The organic and synthetic yarns and twisting processes thereof may be selected to produce a twisted yarn with enhanced performance characteristics such as moisture management, abrasion resistance, and refit. The twisted yarn may be knitted into articles of clothing such as socks.

In one aspect, a textile component including bulking yarn is disclosed. In embodiments, the textile component is a knitted component. In one embodiment, an article of footwear includes a knitted component arch support configured to reduce the rate of pronation. A support structure may include a fusible yarn adjacent to an external surface of the arch support, a bulking yarn, and a nonfusible yarn. In certain embodiments, an arch support includes compartments and flex lines. In another aspect, an article having a knitted component includes a rigid material, a bulking yarn, and a flexible material. The rigid material may be fusible yarn. Methods for forming a textile component are provided. One embodiment involves knitting a first section comprising a fusible yarn, a second section comprising a bulking yarn, and a third section comprising a nonfusible yarn, and heating.
