Secure insertion of the weft yarn
- The weft yarn is enclosed in the fabric by the subsequent basic yarn.
- To ensure a secure insertion of the weft yarn, the basic yarn may not cross the weft yarn. If the course of the weft yarn is obstructed by the basic yarn, there is the danger of the weft yarn not being inserted in the weave-in device.
Rules for a secure weft yarn insertion:
- The yarn carrier with a higher number than the weft yarn carrier knits the last stitch on the rear needle bed.
- The yarn carrier with a lower number than the weft yarn carrier knits the last stitch on the front needle bed.
