Yarn Table


The specified values serve as a guideline. The quality and the specific weight of a yarn must also be taken into account. Instead of a simple yarn, we recommend twisted yarn. With coarser machines it is advisable to use several twisted threads.

Several fine threads are assembled and fed as a thick yarn to the yarn carrier.

Explanation

2,5.2 and 3,5.2 (knit and wear)

If an extreme yarn (non-elastic and/or very thick) is used, it should not be knitted too loosely (in the upper NP area), as there is a danger of wear of the cams and needle bed.
