Abstract
A method for the manufacture of designed knitwear on circular stocking knitting and knitting machines is provided using one or more feed stations, starting from a first base yarn (13) and from a second base yarn (14) for the manufacture of a basic knit fabric and from at least one dyed yarn (15) to create a design in the basic knit fabric. Some needles (11) are selected to pick up and knit the dyed yarn (15) and the first base yarn (13) without picking up the second base yarn, while the remaining needles pick up and knit the second and first base yarns (13, 14), excluding the dyed yarn.
Claims8
A method for the manufacture of designed knitwear on one of a circular stocking knitting machine and a knitting machine, the machine having one or more feed stations using a first base yarn and a second base yarn for the manufacture of a basic knit fabric and at least one dyed yarn in order to create a design in the basic knit fabric and with a selection unit, with jacks and needles that must pick up the dyed yarn for the formation of the design in or at each feed station, the method comprising the steps of:
- selecting with a single selection unit the needles that must form the design in the knitwear so that each of needles that must form the design in the knitwear picks up and knits dyed yarn and the first base yarn without picking up the second base yarn, while the remaining needles pick up and knit the second and first base yarns, excluding the dyed yarn.
A circular stocking knitting machine or a knitting machine, comprising:
- feed stations including a first base yarn feed station, a second base yarn feed station and at least one dyed yarn feed station for creating a design in the basic knit fabric;
- a selection unit;
- jacks;
- and
- needles that must pick up the dyed yarn for the formation of the design in or at each feed station, a selection of needles being made at the selection unit acting as a single selection unit to select the needles that must form the design in the knitwear so that each of needles that must form the design in the knitwear picks up and knits dyed yarn and the first base yarn without picking up the second base yarn, while the remaining needles pick up and knit the second and first base yarns, excluding the dyed yarn, said single selection unit selecting and controlling said needles to move the needles to pick up a dyed yarn of the design at times different from the remaining needles, starting from said single selection unit.
A method for the manufacture of designed knitwear on one of a circular stocking knitting machine and a knitting machine, the method comprising the steps of;
- providing a feed station with a first base yarn and a second base yarn and at least one dyed yarn in order to create a design in the basic knit fabric;
- providing a selection unit;
- providing jacks and needles that must pick up the dyed yarn for the formation of the design in or at each feed station;
- and
- selecting with a single selection unit the needles that must form the design in the knitwear so that each of needles that must form the design in the knitwear picks up and knits dyed yarn and the first base yarn without picking up the second base yarn, while the remaining needles pick up and knit the second and first base yarns, excluding the dyed yarn.
