Knitting machines make various yarns into loops with knitting needles, and then produce knitting products with strings one after another.
Knitting products are soft, wrinkle-resistant and permeable. It is comfortable to wear the products for the elastic and flexible features. Apart from being used in garment and ornaments, textile products can also be used in industry, agriculture, medical treatment, public health, national defense, etc.
Knitting is divided into hand knitting and mechanized knitting:
Hand knitting has a long history in China. It uses knitting needles to create agile and varied patterns. Mechanized knitting began from 1589. An English man called W. Lee created the first hand brace used knitting machine. He was enlightened by hand knitting. The machine he invented has over 3500 components. With lines of crochet hooks, the machine can weave 16 loops for one time.
In line with different technological characteristics, knitting production can be divided into weft knitting and warp knitting. In weft knitting process, raw materials can be put into production after winding. Yarns are broadwise put one the needles one to one and form weft-knitted fabric. In warp knitting process, several things should be done to the raw materials before mechanized production. The materials should go through winding and beaming, and yarns should be paralleled placed and rang into warp beams. When the yarns retreated from the beams, they longitudinally lie on one or two needles to form warp-knitted fabric.
There are also some kinds of knitting machines that combine weft knitting with warp knitting. For these machines, they are allocated with two sets of yarns. Thus, methods of yarn laying for these two sets are different. One takes weft knitting method, and another one adopts warp knitting method. Needles make two sets of yarns into loops and form into fabrics. Loops of the same yarn go different directions during production.
