Abstract:
A double faced warp knit fabric is made on a double needle bar warp knitting machine having a common guide bar and common chain stitch thread forming chain stitches on one needle bar and then on the other needle bar in each successive course of each pair of opposite wales of each opposite face to bind and unite the two knit structures into a unitary double faced fabric. The common chain stitch thread may also be looped coursewise around adjacent chain stitches in adjacent wales to not only serve as the body yarn for both faces but to also serve as the weft portions of a simulated weave, in cooperation with a pair of inlaid warp yarns in each knit structure.
