A sock comprising a toe section, a heel section, and a mid-section between the toe section and the heel section, wherein the mid-section has a foot bottom portion and a foot upper or instep portion, and wherein at least a part of the foot bottom portion is knit from two or more different yarn types used in an alternating sequence along the longitudinal direction of the mid-section, wherein the different yarn types have different stretch properties. By using the different yarn types in the foot bottom or sole portion between the toe and heel section in an alternating sequence along the longitudinal direction of the mid-section in combination, one can create a sock which has a higher stretch characteristic than other socks.

The present disclosure relates to knits that can be used to make rip-resistant garments using an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber and a stretch fiber formed using a two-feed knitting technique.

Methods for hosiery production and knit hosiery garments produced by these methods are provided which exhibit reduced sheerness difference between the foot portion and leg portion of the garment and assist with correct positioning of the garment during donning, thus improving fit and appearance of the knit hosiery garments.

A compression knit part composed of a compression knit including a first ground thread and a second ground thread, wherein the first ground thread is composed at least at its surface of a manufactured polyamide fiber that accepts a first dye but not a second dye, and the second ground thread is composed at least at its surface of a manufactured polyester fiber which accepts the second dye but not the first, and a weft thread configured as compression thread.

A recycling method of waste fishnet is provided. The waste fishnet is processed with steps of cutting, removing impurities, cleaning, and drying to form fishnet chips. The recycling method of waste fishnet includes the following steps. The fishnet chips are mixed with nylon-66, wherein the fishnet chips are of 70% by weight, and nylon-66 is of 30% by weight. The mixture is heated and molten. The molten mixture is then processed with the step of granulation. The grains are then processed with the step of spinning Thereby, the waste fishnet can be recycled and transferred into useful plastic materials.

The invention provides an antimicrobial fiber which exhibits excellent antimicrobial properties even without the addition of antimicrobial agents and can remain antimicrobial even after repeated washing. The antimicrobial fiber comprises a fiber having on a surface thereof a polyacetal copolymer (X) containing oxyalkylene groups, the molar amount of oxyalkylene groups in the polyacetal copolymer (X) being 0.2 to 5 mol % relative to the total of the molar amount of oxymethylene groups and the molar amount of oxyalkylene groups.

Disclosed is a method of manufacturing yoga outer socks with a silicone band attached thereto by forming a temporary connection part using ultrasonic waves without a seam between an outer sock upper and a sole part, adhering hot melt to the temporary connection part via heat fusion, and then fusing a silicone band onto hot melt to prevent slipping of the heel. Accordingly, the yoga outer socks are manufactured by forming a temporary connection part with ultrasonic waves without a seam and then adhering hot melt to the temporary connection part via heat fusion to simplify manufacturing processes and to achieve excellent productivity.

Aspects herein are directed to a knit sock having a leg portion and an integrally knit ankle welt extending around a circumference of the leg portion and positioned at a lower end of the leg portion. The knit sock further includes an integrally knit tab located at a back aspect of the ankle welt.

Included are elastomeric fibers and method for preparing such fibers, which include a bio-derived butanediol. The bio-derived butanediol is used to prepare a polymeric glycol composition, which is contacted with a diisocyanate and spun to provide an elastomeric fiber.
