Abstract
A yarn having cut-resistant and antimicrobial properties. The yarn includes at least one core fiber, and preferably two core fibers. Examples of core fibers include fiberglass, polyester fibers, and high density polyethylene fibers. The core fibers are overwrapped with counter helixes of a cut resistant fiber and an antimicrobial fiber. An example of a cut resistant fiber is a high density polyethylene, and an example of a fiber having a antimicrobial substance is MICROSAFE.RTM. acetate fiber manufactured by Celenese. The yarn is particularly suited for use in making gloves and other protective apparel worn by individuals handling and processing food. The antimicrobial substance is embedded in the yarn so that the apparel is reusable and can be subjected to numerous washings without washing away the antimicrobial.
