  • Framework Knitting and the Hosiery Trade
    BELPER TOWN CENTRE FRAMEWORK KNITTING AND THE HOSIERY TRADE DERWENT VALLEY VISITOR CENTRE The partnership between Brettle and Ward was dissolved and George Brettles built his own factory Framework Knitting in 1834. These two firms were of considerable size. They made silk stockings for George III, George IV and Queen Victoria. and the Ward’s ceased trading in the 1930’s and Brettles in 1987. Many smaller hosiery firms provided work for local people and these were scattered around the Hosiery trade town. All these factories have closed except for Aristoc which now operates across the road in the West Mill. Circular knitting slowly superseded flatbed knitting, as it was more efficient. Today all hosiery is made this way.

Video need internet, if there is no internet, please see the manual. 2. The last page has a method of using the Fluff Ball Weaver. Ring/Tubular Weave: (weaving hat, wallet, tubular scarf, etc.) 1. Change the gear to P gear and turn counterclockwise until the white crochet is just stuck at the yarn guide. 2. Then leave a 30cm long yarn in the middle of the machine and hang the yarn into the white crochet; rock the handle in a clockwise direction and hang the yarn across the yarn. Finally, come out from the yarn guide. 3. Put the yarn into the tension lever. 4. Change the gear to the T gear and then shake the handle clockwise. Note: In the first three to four laps of knitting, the handle should be shaken at a constant speed to ensure that no needle is dropped. 5. Looping Finishing ① When the knitting work reaches the desired length, stop moving the handle when the white crochet moves to the right of the yarn guide. ② After the 30 cm yarn is taken, it is cut off, the yarn is taken out from the thread hole of the tension lever, the sewing needle is passed, and then the yarn is pulled vertically, and the handle is shaken to make the machine idling without the yarn.

Stages of our visual knit programming system: (a) Our system begins with an input mesh; (b) generates a knitting time function; (c) remeshes the surface to create an augmented stitch mesh; (d) allows the user to interactively edit and add patterns, textures, and colorwork; and (e) generates instructions for fabrication on an industrial knitting machine. At the core of our interface is the augmented stitch mesh, which associates yarn geometry, dependency information, and a knitting program with each face. Industrial knitting machines are commonly used to manufacture complicated transform between any two machine-knittable stitch patterns with the same shapes from yarns; however, designing patterns for these machines requires orientation on the same surface. We demonstrate the power and flexibility extensive training. We present the first general visual programming interface of our pipeline by using it to create and knit objects featuring a wide range for creating 3D objects with complex surface finishes on industrial knitting of patterns and textures, including intarsia and Fair Isle colorwork; knit and machines. At the core of our interface is a new, augmented, version of the purl textures; cable patterns; and laces. stitch mesh data structure.
