It begins with wool production in Australia and follows the processing route from yarn through to fabric. Particular attention is given to yarn selection, which is paramount to a quality knitwear product, along with the relationship between yarn and knitting machines. Wool knitwear requires slightly different finishing procedures to other fibres and these will also be covered. 5 01 BENEFITS OF MERINO IN KNITWEAR NATURAL FIBRE CRIMP SOFTNESS Merino wool is the natural fibre Merino wool is naturally crimped Australian Merino sheep are choice, made of a protein called allowing for bulky yet light fabrics. renowned for producing the finest keratin, the same protein as human wool.

Australia is the world’s largest producer of Merino wool. In 2010/11 Australia’s 70 million sheep produced 345 mkgs of wool. The Australian wool clip is particularly suited to use in apparel, with 54% of annual production in 2010/11 being less than 20.6 micron. The finer the wool’s diameter, the softer and more crimped it becomes. Crimp, the wave in the wool staple, contributes to the bulk and the lightness of wool knitting yarns.

When you spin, you put twist into fibres so that they hold together to form a continuous thread. Navajo Plying - Making a three-ply yarn 8. Designed to appeal to the beginning spinner, tips and hints are provided that illustrate how easy, enjoyable, and relaxing spinning can be. When I was in Kenya, women spun Romney wool chiefly "in the grease," but it often locked in large amounts of dirt in the process. Spin spin spin! Covers fiber characteristics, preparation and spinning, choosing a wheel, and crafting the finished yarn into useful and attractive pieces. I Made It!

  • 3Needle Bind-Of
    3Needle Bind-of The 3needle bind-off is a popular method for joining live stitches. Unlike Kitchener stitch it isn't invisible, but is fairly unnoticeable if the bind-off is worked with the right sides of the work together. Personally, I like to work this technique with the wrong sides of the work together, so that it becomes a feature of your knitting – it creates a strong, structured ridge that can look very effective and add additional detail to a piece. This bind-off is commonly used for seams where extra support is needed, for instance shoulder seams, where it's bulk helps give a garment shape and prolong the life of the seam. To do this bind-ff, you will need a spare needle, ideally slightly larger than the working needles, and some waste yarn, which would normally be the tail recently cut after knitting has finished. The amount of yarn needed will vary depending on your project, and 3 times the length of the seam to be joined is a good estimate. Because you are working a k2tog and a cast-off in one go, your work can get a bit tight, and a tight seam doesn't have much flexibility. This is why it is recommended that the 3rd needle be a slightly larger gauge than the working needles. In this example shown here, the 3needle bind-off is being worked as a decorative seam, so the wrong sides of the work are together. Also, the stitches on the back needle have been released from a provisional cast-on.

  • 7. Wool Combing
    7. Wool Combing Errol Wood Learning objectives On completion of this topic you should be able to: • Outline the objectives of wool combing • Describe the design of a typical rectilinear comb • Explain the steps in rectilinear combing – feeding, initial combing, final combing and drawing off, and sliver formation • Discuss the means by which noils are removed, and the balance required in setting the amount to be removed • Explain the purpose of re-combing • Calculate: tear ratio, noil(%), romaine, regain and combing production • Discuss the factors that affect the combing quality of fine wools Key terms and concepts Combing (Nobel and rectilinear), nips per minute, doublings, noils, finisher gilling, packaging, re- combing, tear, noil(%), romaine, percent fibres less than 30 mm, combing production. Introduction to the topic Wool combing is a comprehensive term when used in its widest sense, and it embraces all the operations carried out in a topmaking plant. It includes the processes of raw wool scouring, drying, carding, backwashing and preparer gilling. Then follows the actual combing operation and the sequence of topmaking processes concludes with two gilling steps called top finishing (or finisher gilling). Combing is not included in the semiworsted or woollen processing routes. Wool combing, the single process, is indispensable in the manufacture of a worsted yarn. The card has disentangled the fibres in the mass of scoured wool and has mixed them in a roughly parallel formation. However, during the carding process many fibres will have been broken, and the card sliver will consist of a variety of fibre lengths. Some vegetable matter will have been removed but fragments remain.

  • Need for Lap Preparation
    Need for Lap preparation: The combers are fed with a small lap produced by combining several slivers. The raw material delivered by the card is unsuitable for combing as regards both form and fiber arrangement. If card slivers were just combined and fed to the comber, true nipping by the nipper plates would occur only on the high points, with the risk that the nippers could not retain the less firmly compressed edge zones of the slivers asshown in the below fig. This is because the slivers are not flattened. The fibres could then be pulled out as clumps by the circular combs during combing operation. A sheet with the greatest possible degree of evenness in cross section, with uniform thickness is therefore required as in-feed to the comber. Effect of fibre presentation: The fiber arrangement must also be taken into account, i.e. in this case the disposition of the hooks. If the comber is to straighten hooks, as it is intended to, then the fibers must be presented to it with leading hooks. The carded slivers have trailing hooks as the majority hooks (more than 50%) as the sliver emerges out of the calendar rollers in the carding machine. Each time the sliver is packed in a can and taken out, the majority hooks change. For example, as the sliver is withdrawn from the card can, the original trailing hooks (as the sliver went into the can) are now counted as the leading hooks as can be seen in Fig. Hence, at this stage majority hooks are the leading hooks.

  • Buying a Knitting Machine
    Buying A Knitting Machine Step One: Decide which gauge machine you are going to buy Fine Gauge Needles are 3.5mm or 3.6mm apart and equate to 7 gauge. They knit yarns up to and including 3ply and some 4ply yarns. Pre-owned machines can be difficult to find as they weren’t sold in great numbers. Very few new machines around as they are no longer in production. Standard Gauge Needles are 4.5mm apart, 5.6 gauge. They knit yarns up to and including 4ply and some fine DK yarns. These machines are the most popular and easiest to find, new or pre-owned. Mid-gauge Needles are 6mm or 7mm apart, approx. 3.9 gauge and work well with DK yarns, including hand knit yarns. These machines often have plastic beds and limited patterning facilities. Chunky Gauge Needles are 9mm apart, 2.8 gauge and knit the DK, aran and light chunky weight yarns. Plastic bed machines are great starter machines for beginners. They are often cheaper than metal bed machines, but do not have the patterning facilities. All machines are over 1 metre in length and can be as long as 2 metres when all the accessories are added. Japanese plastic machines usually weigh around 4.5kg, whilst metal machines weigh in around 16kg. European machines are heavier still. You may wish to avoid a Passap if you are a complete beginner. They are generally regarded as being harder to learn (if you have experience of Japanese machines). You cannot see what you are knitting (it comes out underneath and between the two beds of needles) and their patterning is different.
