Problem
When swiveling the Intarsia yarn carrier, thread loops occur,
which lead to errors in the fabric (thread loops, holes, drop
stitches).
Basic
At the time of swiveling the Intarsia yarn carrier, the holding-
down jacks are simultaneously closed. With some yarns this
can cause problems - the thread piece "needle-yarn carrier"
is clamped by the holding-down jacks. This thread piece
cannot be bulled back by the lateral yarn tensioners. A
thread loop is built, which can be knitted-in by the following
knitting system.
Rectification
Modify the holding-down jack control.
The opening angle of the float slider is adjustable. In the
"open" position the holding-down jacks will no longer close
completely so that the thread will not be clamped.
: Knitting-in the Intarsia yarn carrier.
With longer floats it is possible that the tuck loop will not be
laid-in reliably, for example with tuck {5} - - v - - or stitch {5} -
- o - -.
Rectification
In the "Yarn Field Allocation" select the following for knitting-
in.
◆
Module for knitting-in: Float {0} - knitting-in
◆
Binding or knot at the start: Knot Split
Tip
If possible:
◆
knit pattern with half racking (V#)
◆
Adjust the float slider in the "open" position
