Doublefaced structures PracticalGuide

Fri, 18 May 2012 11:05:56 GMT

Double-faced structures are produced in weft and warp knitting when two sets of independently-controlled needles are employed with the hooks of one set knitting or facing in the opposite direction to the other set. The two sets of needles thus draw their loops from the same yarn in opposite directions, so that the fabric, formed in the gap between the two sets, shows the face loops of one set on one side and the face loops of the other set on the opposite side. The two faces of the fabric are...

Combined with other stitches they contrast well with lace or knit and purl fabrics. Here a single repeat of Norwegian fir lace from page 120 is used as a central panel between lines of popcorns on five stitches...

Partthreaded guide bars PracticalGuide

Tue, 01 May 2012 18:30:30 GMT

The following are the basic rules when employing part-threaded guide bars for the production of nets, cords and relief designs During a normal knitting cycle, every needle must receive at least one overlapped thread but it is not necessary for the same guide bar to supply every needle or for every needle to be overlapped by the same number of threaded guides. The guide bar threading for one width repeat is usually shown in its correct relative position between the needle spaces at the first...

The crochet machine PracticalGuide

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:51:39 GMT

In hand crocheting, a hook is used to draw a new loop through the old loop with the chains of loops being joined together at intervals. On crochet machines, the warp chains are separate from the weft inlay and it is the latter threads that join the chaining wales to each other. The crochet galloon machine, as developed by Sander and Graff and popularised by Kholer, is essentially a highly versatile raschel with the following unique features Figures 24.8 and 24.9 A single horizontal needle bar...

The two methods of yarn feeding PracticalGuide

Sun, 29 Apr 2012 14:05:32 GMT

As mentioned in Section 4.3.2, yarn feeding involves either a moving the needles past the stationary yarn feed or b moving the yarn past the stationary needle bed. When the yarn moves past the needles, the fabric will be stationary because the loops hang from the needles. This arrangement exists on all warp knitting machines, and on weft knitting machines with straight beds and circular machines with stationary cylinders and dials. On straight machines of both weft and warp type, the...

Using only one fully-threaded guide bar, overlapping on one bed only will produce a single-faced structure. Overlapping on both beds will produce a double-faced structure but this will only be cohesive if each guide overlaps at least two different needles in one of the beds during the repeat. To understand the appearance and properties of two-bar structures, it is necessary to consider the lapping movements that occur on each needle bed in isolation, as if produced by two separate guide bars....

Warp knitted laps PracticalGuide

Fri, 20 Apr 2012 14:04:41 GMT

Loops are termed 'laps' in warp knitting because the warp guides lap their yarn around the needles in order to form the loop structure. The loops overlaps may be open or closed. On the original warp frame as on many present-day crochet machines , the needle bar was in a horizontal and not a vertical position, with its beards facing upwards Fig. 5.2 .To produce a needle loop it was thus necessary to swing the guide upwards and shog it over the needle hook hence the term 'overlap' which refers...

Adjustment of loop length PracticalGuide

Fri, 20 Apr 2012 08:43:58 GMT

On hosiery machines without positive feed, the distance between the top of the needle head at knock-over and the loop-supporting belly of the sinker will determine the length of loop that is drawn. On single-cylinder machines, the sinkers are in a bed fixed to the head of the needle cylinder so that any raising or lowering of the cylinder will affect the loop length. A gradual lowering of the cylinder produces graduated stiffening. On electronically-controlled machines, this is achieved by step...

Knitted stitches PracticalGuide

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 20:45:57 GMT

Weft knitted stitches described so far have been composed entirely of knitted loops. A knitted loop stitch is produced when a needle receives a new loop and knocks-over the old loop that it held from the previous knitting cycle. The old loop then becomes a needle loop of normal configuration. Other types of stitch may be produced on each of the four-needle arrangement base structures by varying the timing of the intermeshing sequence of the old and new loops. These stitches may be deliberately...

Needle bounce and highspeed knitting PracticalGuide

Tue, 17 Apr 2012 11:44:54 GMT

On circular knitting machines, higher productivity involves faster needle movements as a result of an increase in the number of knitting feeds and of machine rotational speeds. On fabric machines, the machine revolutions per minute have almost doubled and the number of feeders have increased twelve-fold over the past 25 years, so that as many as 4000 courses per minute can be knitted on some plain machines, whilst on some high-speed seamless hose machines the tangential speed of the needles can...

Trends in finegauge hosiery since PracticalGuide

Fri, 13 Apr 2012 16:03:55 GMT

The straight bar frame was, at first, the main beneficiary of the huge demand that was unleashed for nylon stockings. This caused machine gauges to become progressively finer, and productivity to rise dramatically, as operations became more automated and efficient and knitting speeds increased. For the circular hose machine, the advent of nylon meant that a combination of stitch- and heat-shaping could now produce a stocking with satisfactory leg-fitting properties, provided ladies' fashion...

Thu, 12 Apr 2012 17:46:46 GMT

Three-thread fleecy is now produced mainly on single-jersey latch needle machines in the manner first patented by Lestor Mishcon in the USA in 1937.

The arrows indicate the relative movement of the loops along the needles. Whether the needle moves through the loops or the loops are moved over the needle by some other elements depends upon the machine design. 1 The needle is in the so-called rest position, with the previously formed loop a held on its...
