Properties
| A weft yarn (float thread) is laid-in covering the entire pattern width.
- 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 fixed by stitch or tuck.
The yarn carrier for the weft yarn is driven by a knitting system without needle actions; i.e. neither stitch nor tuck. - The weave-in device presses the thread downwards between the needle beds.
- In the subsequent knitting system, the weft yarn will be enclosed by the stitches.
