Abstract
An elastic composite yarn comprises a composite core and a composite covering. The composite core comprises an elastic core member and an inelastic functional core member. The composite covering comprises at least an elastic covering member and at least one inelastic covering member surrounding the elastic covering member, such that substantially all of an elongating stress imposed on the composite yarn is carried by the elastic core member and the elastic covering member.
