Knitted fabric

Abstract

A knitted fabric I includes a staple fiber component A of aramid staple fibers and a staple fiber component B of at least one type of seed fibers or staple fibers manufactured by tearing or cutting lyocell fibers enriched with algae or a mixture of at least one type of seed fibers with staple fibers manufactured by tearing or cutting lyocell fibers enriched with algae. A knitted fabric II includes a staple fiber component A of aramid staple fibers and/or polyolefin staple fibers and a staple fiber component B of at least one type of seed fibers or staple fibers manufactured by tearing or cutting lyocell fibers enriched with algae or a mixture of at least one type of seed fibers with staple fibers manufactured by tearing or cutting lyocell fibers enriched with algae. The structures of the knitted fabrics from components A and B are also indicated.
