Properties
| A weft yarn (float thread) is laid-in covering the entire pattern width or a selection.
- No or minor crossways elasticity.
With elastic threads a defined elasticity can be achieved (example: compression stocking) - New fabric looks (woven-like) are feasible
|
How the weave-in device works
| - The weave-in device holds the floats deep so that they don't obstruct the knitting process.
- The weave-in device holds the weft yarn deep enough so that it does not knit any stitch or tuck in the following knitting system.
|
- A weft yarn is inserted in knitting direction of the stitch rows but not enclosed by stitch or tuck.
- The insertion of the weft yarn is carried out by the weft yarn carrier. This yarn carrier runs thus so far ahead before the knitting system that the yarn is only inserted but does not knit any stitch or tuck.
- The weave-in device pressed the thread downwards between the needle beds.
- In the subsequent knitting system, the weft yarn will be enclosed by the stitches.
