Pictured sweater is colors 07 and 10, but there are many combinations of the colorways which will work well. Black has become a popu- lar color for baby clothes and the black can be paired with several choices.

  • Yarns for Weaving: a Guide for Shops
    Yarns for Weaving: A Guide for Shops Beautiful fabrics can be woven from most of the yarns in your shop. We offer a few guidelines when thinking about yarn for weaving. Knitting vs. Weaving Yarns Yarns designed for knitting have more stretch than yarns created specifically for weaving. Because of this, finished fabrics may have more “bounce” on the loom and not full in the same way that a weaving yarn might. The Wonders of Wool We love wool yarns for weaving because they full or blossom during the washing process. Be aware that superwash wools have been engineered to not full or felt during washing. They don’t produce the hand that we like to see in a woven fabric. We suggest that you keep in stock an affordable wool yarn, such as Brown Sheep’s Nature Spun in sizes that fit our range of reeds (a general rule of thumb: 5=bulky; 8=worsted; 10=sport; 12=fingering). Acrylic Knitting Yarns Because they stretch a lot under tension, we don’t recommend acrylic knitting yarns for warp. If you must, the weft is okay, but an acrylic yarn will not bloom during the finishing process and may leave you with either an overly limp or overly stiff fabric. Novelties Novelty yarns combined with a simple plied yarn can produce smashing results. If possible, sley the novelty yarn in the slots where it has more room to move. Running a length of yarn up and down in a slot (or a hole) is one way to gauge if it will move freely in that reed.

  • Flat Knitting of Optical Fibres
    AUTEX 2009 World Textile Conference 26-28 May, 2009 İzmir, Turkey FLAT KNITTING OF OPTICAL FIBRES Joel Peterson, Folke Sandvik The Swedish School of Textiles, University of Borås, Borås, Sweden, [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper presents an experimental research in the areas of knitting technology and optical fibres. The aim is to explore the possibilities to knit stiff monofilament optical fibres in flat knitting machines. The yarns used were transparent monofilament of polyester and optical fibres of PMMA (Polymethyl Metacrylate). Result shows that a hexagon shaped flat knitted prototype can be produced but also difficulties to knit monofilament yarn with optical fibres. The optical fibres was put into the structure in straight angles as weft insertion, to avoid bending and breakage of the monofilaments. Another problem was the take down device on the knitting machine but a solution of this is presented in the paper. Key Words: Optical fibres, flat knitting, knitting technology, technical textiles 1. INTRODUCTION This paper is about an experimental research in the areas of knitting technology and optical fibres and the aim is to explore the possibilities to knit with stiff monofilament optical fibres. Fibres with high stiffness are known to have a limited knittability and difficult to process in knitting machines [1]. The machine used is an electronic flat knitting machine STOLL CMS 330 TC with special equipment suitable for the feeding of yarn with high stiffness. In order to facilitate the progression of the work, different yarns were used. It was expected to be a challenge to work with optical fibres, and therefore the choice was made to use other yarns with better knittability in a first phase.

  • 19. Principles of Yarn Requirements for Knitting
    19. Principles of Yarn Requirements for Knitting Errol Wood Learning objectives On completion of this lecture you should be able to: • Describe the general methods of forming textile fabrics; • Outline the fibre and yarn requirements for machine knitwear • Describe the steps in manufacturing and preparing yarn for knitting Key terms and concepts Weft knitting, warp knitting, fibres, fibre diameter, worsted system, yarn count, steaming, clearing, winding, lubrication, needle loop, sinker loop, courses, wales, latch needle, bearded needle Introduction Knitting as a method of converting yarn into fabric begins with the bending of the yarn into either weft or warp loops. These loops are then intermeshed with other loops of the same open or closed configuration in either a horizontal or vertical direction. These directions correspond respectively to the two basic forms of knitting technology – weft and warp knitting. In recent decades few sectors of the textile industry have grown as rapidly as the machine knitting industry. Advances in knitting technologies and fibres have led to a diverse range of products on the market, from high quality apparel to industrial textiles. The knitting industry can be divided into four groups – fully fashioned, flat knitting, circular knitting and warp knitting. Within the wool industry both fully fashioned and flat knitting are widely used. Circular knitting is limited to certain markets and warp knitting is seldom used for wool. This lecture covers the fibre and yarn requirements for knitting, and explains the formation of knitted structures. A number of texts are useful as general references for this lecture; (Wignall, 1964), (Gohl and Vilensky, 1985) and (Spencer, 1986).
