Abstract
A two-bar warp-knitted fabric with surface interest patterning is formed from two sets of threads being fed to separate guide bars of a warp knitting machine then to a single needle bed for knitting by crossing at least one of the threads from one set of threads from one operating guide bar to the other. The preferred embodiment interchanges some threads from one set with threads of the other set ahead of the guide bars.
Claims16
In a method for producing warp-knitted fabrics on a warp-knitting machine having at least two sets of warp threads and corresponding operating guide bars, including the steps of feeding one of said two sets of threads to one of two operating guide bars of said warp-knitting machine and feeding the other of said two sets to the other operating guide bar of said warp-knitting machine to form a knitted fabric, the improvement comprising:
- interchanging some of the threads from said one set of threads with threads of the other of said set of threads in a spaced pattern ahead of said operating guide bars on said knitting machine.
