We report knitted fabrics made from highly conductive stretchable fibers. The maximum initial conductivity of fibers synthesized by wet spinning was 17460 S cm(-1) with a rupture tensile strain of 50%. The maximum strain could be increased to 490% by decreasing the conductivity to 236 S cm(-1). The knitted fabric was mechanically and electrically reversible up to 100% tensile strain when coated by poly(dimethylsiloxane). The normalized resistance of the poly(dimethylsiloxane)-coated fabric decreased to 0.65 at 100% strain.
