The crimp in wool yarn produced by the knit‐deknit method can be made stable to release in hot water while in the extended configuration by setting the knitted fabric with bisulphite and then applying stabilising techniques previously found effective on pleated fabric. These include oxidation, crosslinking and application of reactive polymers.
