               A cut-resistant yarn suitable for machine knitting,                    
          comprising a core, a first wrapping about the core and a second             
          wrapping about the first, at least one of said core, first                  
          wrapping and second wrapping being comprised of liquid crystal              
          polymer fiber having a tenacity of no more than 10 grams per                
          denier.

               A cut-resistant yarn suitable for machine knitting having a            
          core comprised of liquid crystal polymer fiber having a tenacity            
          of no more than 10 grams per denier; a flexible metal strand; a             
          wrapping of liquid crystal polymer fiber having a tenacity of no            
          more than 10 grams per denier, and one or more additional                   
          wrappings of synthetic fiber none of which has a tenacity greater           
          than 10 grams per denier.                                                   
                                      Claim 25                                        
               A cut-resistant yarn suitable for machine knitting having a            
          core comprised of a liquid crystal polymer fiber having a                   
          tenacity of no more than 10 grams per denier and a strand of                
          wire, and having wrappings comprised of a wrapping of liquid                
          crystal polymer fiber having a tenacity of no more than 10 grams            
          per denier, and two wrappings each of which is either nylon or              
          polyester over the liquid crystal polymer wrapping.                         






                                         A-1
