In weft knitting;• yarn is fed to knitting needles.
WEFT KNITTING
04/10/2023
• Needle with the help of cams, sinker make a new loop and
• passed it into previously held loops.
• Weft knitting is made using a single yarn.
• It can be made by hand knitting or by machines.
WEFT KNITTING
04/10/2023
Characteristics of weft knits:
• The fabric has high elasticity and stretch.
• The loops of yarn trap air which retains body heat to keep us warm.
• The right and wrong sides of the fabric look different.
• the fabrics can lose shape easily.
• Creases fall out easily.
• The fabric can unravel and ladder easily.
• Weft knitted fabrics curl up at the edges when they are cut.

Circular Knitting Machines
04/10/2023
In circular knitting machines needles are fixed on a cylinder or dial in a circular shape.
There are more than one feeders to feed yarn to needles at different places.
In most of the cases needle bed (cylinder or dial) moves while feeders remain stationary.
Diameter of cylinder and dial is fixed but in case of sock knitting machines it is changeable due to structure of socks
FLAT KNITTING MACHINES
04/10/2023
• In flat knitting machines needles are fixed on a straight plate.
• On this machine needle bed remains stationary while yarn feeding system called carriage moves from one end to other end
• This machine is used to knit collars, arm bands and sweaters

TYPES OF CIRCULAR KNITTING MACHINES
SINGLE KNIT MACHINE
04/10/2023
• In these machines needles are fixed on cylinder
• sinker are fixed on sinker ring
• Needles knit with the help of sinkers

DOUBLE KNIT MACHINE
04/10/2023
• In double knit machine needles are fixed on dial as well as on cylinders• There is no sinkers on this machine
• This machine is used to knit interlock, rib and double jerseys

2. The sinker remains at its forward position when the needle attains its clearing position.
1. The held loop is positioned in the throat of the sinker when the sinker moves forward and the needle moves upward for clearing. The held loop is held by the throat and hence its movement along the needle is restricted.
SINKER

4. Sinker remains in backward position and the needle descends to its lowest position drawing the new loop through the old one.
SINKER
5. Before the needle ascends, the sinker moves forward to push the knitted fabric a little and to hold the old loop away from the head of the needle and to be in a position to control the fabric.
3. The sinker retracts (pull back) when the needle comes down after feeding. At this stage, due to sinkers retraction, fabric or held loop is eased out. Also the sinker belly supported the fabric or held loop and hence its movements along the needle is prevented.
DOUBLE KNIT MACHINE
04/10/2023
Interlock--- Two sides are fully knitted, highly flexible used for under garments. Front and back wales are exactly at same point Rib--- two sides are fully knitted. Less flexible but have strong grip, used for neck, cuff opening and waist band. Front and back wales are not at same point Double Jersey Double side knitted, can have different designs on both sides

TYPES OF SINGLE KNITTING MACHINES
SINGLE KNIT PLAIN KNITTING MACHINES
04/10/2023
Mostly called jersey machines. On this machines, there is a set of needles and sinkers. These machines may be single track of multi track.
From one track to six track machines are available.
These machine can knit jersey, pique, honey comb, mini jacquard
04/10/2023
Single Track
Multi Track
SINGLE PLAIN KNITTING MACHINES
04/10/2023
Track means number of cams vertically fitted
In single track machine there is only one track
This machine can knit only full knit fabric (single jersey)
SINGLE TRACK SINGLE KNIT
04/10/2023
In this machine there are 2-6 tracks
More number of tracks means that variety of designs can be produced
On these machine many types of fabric can be produced, like, pique, pique fleece, two thread fleece and mini jacquard
Multi Track Knitting Machine

LOOP KNITTING MACHINES
04/10/2023
In these machines we can make loop on one or on both sides of fabric.
By introducing loops we can increase the weight and bulkiness of fabric

Terry
Fleece
Types of Loop Knitting Machines
TERRY FABRIC
04/10/2023
This fabric has loops on the surface, like towel but the length of loops is smaller than towels.
Normally used to make shirts of kids or for people working under high temperature to absorb the moisture

THREE THREAD KNITTING MACHINE
This machine is used to produce fleece fabric. This fabric is plain from one side. Mostly front side is of single jersey and on back loop is inserted across various number of wales (normally two to three wales are covered).
Back side is brushed with the help of raising machine to make it more comfortable and bulky as well as warm
Two types of threads are used; fine for the top and course for back ( 30/16, 28/12 etc)
THREE THREAD FLEECE MACHINE

STRIPER
04/10/2023
In stripe knitting machines we can produce horizontal stripes with the help of scissors which cuts the yarn and a new yarn is fed
There are two types of:• Mechanical• Electronic
Note: in current era there is no fresh production of mechanical strip machines
STRIPE KNITTING MACHINE

JACQUARD KNITTING MACHINES
04/10/2023
These machine are available in, • Single bed• Double knit technology • Normally more than one colored yarns are
used. • Different patterns are made • Normally 4-6 color machines are available

In this machine bed rotates and carriage moves from one side to other
WARP KNITTING
04/10/2023
Raschel, made with latch needles,
Tricot, using bearded needles.
WARP KNITTING MACHINE

WARP KNITTED FABRIC
04/10/2023
THE PROPERTIES OF WARP KNITTED STRUCTURES
04/10/2023
Warp knitting offers:
• Higher production rates than for weaving.• A wide variety of fabric constructions.• Large working widths.• A low stress rate on the yarn that facilitates careful
handling of fibres such as glass, aramide and carbon (particularly when using weft-insertion techniques).
• Conventional warp knitted structures that can be directionally structured.
• Three-dimensional structures that can be knitted on double needle bar raschels.
Main products • Nets• Curtains• Technical fabrics• Covers • Covering sheets
WARP KNITTING
04/10/2023
• Warp sheet
• Loops development with the help of needles
• Loops insertion with the help of needles
• Needle movement controls mechanically and electronically
WORKING PRINCIPLE
04/10/2023
• More stable than knitted • Big and small holes are possible • Many designs are possible • Highly course yarn can be used • Technical fabric can be produced
PROPERTIES OF WARP KNITTED FABRIC
04/10/2023
• use to fulfill technical demands, like, filters, seat covers etc
• used as curtains, table covers• used as chadar in some countries • not used for clothing
USE OF WARP KNITTED FABRIC
04/10/2023
WARP KNITTING
In this process;• yarn sheet is developed (warp sheet) • and then with the help of needles stitches
are formed by,• insertion new loop into old loop

WARP KNITTING TECHNOLOGY
• Warp knitting machines--needles are mounted collectively and rigidly in a horizontal metal bar (the needle bar that runs the full knitting width of the machine).
• Equally the yarn guides are also set rigidly into a horizontal metal bar (the guide bar that runs the full width of the machine).
