Abstract
The circular knit two-layer upholstery fabric of the present invention has stability and limited stretchability in both coursewise and walewise directions to meet established industry standards. The fabric includes a first layer knit of thermoplastic base yarn and forming stitch loops in wales of successive courses to provide a technical face side. A second layer is formed of lay-in yarn extending generally coursewise and in a sinuous manner along the juncture of the stitch loops of certain courses of the first layer and provides a technical back side constituting the exposed wear surface of the fabric. The lay-in yarn is in the range of two to ten times larger than the base yarn so that the lay-in yarn substantially covers the base yarn and provides the tactile characteristics, appearance and hand of the lay-in yarn constituting the exposed wear surface of the fabric.
