Aspects herein provide for a knit component having a tubular rib knit structure that extends away from a base portion of the knit component. The tubular rib knit structure includes at least a first portion extending along a longitudinal side of the tubular rib knit structure, where the first portion exhibits a first visual effect at a first area of the knit component and exhibits a second visual effect at a second area of the knit component.

A moisture transfer yarn blend and fabric containing a selected of engineered shaped, lobed, deep grooved, channeled, hollow, sheath-core, bi-component polymer silver fibers and bi-component polymer fibers, optionally blended with cylinder or round fibers or natural fibers or a combination. The engineered shaped, lobed, channeled and deep grooved polymer fibers have indentations along the longitudinal side of the fibers. The deep grooved fibers have four to eight deep indentations along the longitudinal side of the fibers and containing grooves in the deepest portion of the indentation.

The present invention provides a knitted fabric with leather fibers comprising a ground yarn layer and a face yarn layer directly connected with the ground yarn layer through double knitting. The ground yarn layer includes a plurality of first yarn loops, each of the first yarn loops is formed by a plurality of ground yarns. The face yarn layer includes a plurality of second yarn loops, each of the second yarn loops is formed by at least one face yarn attached with the leather fibers obtained from a piece of leather by a pulverization operation. A course ratio of the face yarn layer to the ground yarn layer is in a range between 1:1.25 and 1:4. Accordingly, the invention provides an innovative knitted fabric and solves the problem that the leather cannot be recycled after being discarded.

A medical device comprising a device that covers at least a portion of a patient's skin and has an inner surface designed to be in contact with the patient's skin. It contains a multi-ply knit fabric that contains a first knit ply and a second knit ply. The first knit ply contains a plurality of first yarns and forms the upper surface of the fabric. The second knit ply contains a plurality of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) yarns which forms the lower surface of the fabric. The first and second ply are integrated through combined portions formed by interlacing first yarns among the PTFE yarns, interlacing PTFE yarns among the first yarns, and interlacing a plurality of third yarns among the first and the PTFE yarns. The multi-ply knit fabric also contains a composition comprising at least one silver ion-containing compound on at least the upper surface of the multi-ply knit fabric.

A method for manufacturing a cut resistant fabric includes: supplying a polyethene yarn with a thickness of 50-225 dtex as a protective yarn through a first yarn carrier of a circular knitting machine to a feeder needle at a first selected tension; supplying simultaneously an uncoated elastane yarn with a thickness of 20-80 dtex as a first additional yarn through a second yarn carrier of the circular knitting machine to the same feeder needle at a second selected tension that is higher than the first selected tension of the protective yarn; forming a fabric from the protective yarn and the first additional yarn as single-jersey knits; and interlocking the protective yarn and the first additional yarn in each single-jersey knit of the fabric using a heat treatment step on a stenter frame.
