How to knit on a knitting machine

Nowadays, the industrial clothing industry is multifaceted and the concept of self-knitting, it would seem, should sink into Leta. However, this hobby is gaining ever-larger scale of its development, which is not surprising, because even the highest quality thing, performed on a production scale, will not replace the "spiritual warmth" and personality that personalized items have.But this process at home can be automated, if we are talking about machine knitting.

What are the differences between machine and hand knitting

Hand-knitted fabric will be more magnificent. The machine evenly pushes the product.

Hand knitting has dozens of different patterns and knitting techniques, and although knitting machines are constantly being upgraded, they still cannot afford to have so many patterns. The speed of obtaining the finished product is also important. However, an automatic mode of knitting without the participation of a person in it is not provided.

Varieties of devices

1. All knitting machines have one texture or two textures. The knitting machine with one texture has one needle bar. Acceptable for the manufacture of a homogeneous web with a double-sided pattern, provided that the product will have a fabric lining. As an example, a coat or cardigan. However, if you want to knit a pattern in different colors, then the threads will stick out from the inside. Devices having two textures respectively have two needle beds. Things turn out smooth and neat both on the front side and on the wrong side.
2. Divided into classes. It is this criterion that controls the thickness of the thread. According to the marketing statistics of manufacturers and, more importantly, according to customer reviews, V-class devices are an absolute favorite. They are universal, they can work equally well with both thin and thick thread.
3. By the way of recreating the ornament.Punchers, the pattern is applied to special plates with stencils, after which they are inserted into the machine. Computer Everything is calculated by an electronic application. Tame. Man "knits" the pattern himself.

How to learn to knit on a knitting machine

You must understand that, despite its compact appearance, a knitting machine is a serious technical device, and if you seriously decide to learn and understand how to knit on a knitting machine, you should be patient.

Of course, the first question that should be before us before starting to use a knitting machine is what to knit from.

What yarn to choose

At the first stages, experts advise choosing soft yarn. Threads should be medium in size.

IMPORTANT. Threads for machine knitting are produced in separate bobbins and can be not only from wool of natural origin, but also synthetic.

Next, it is important to prepare yarn for knitting. In this case, it means that the yarn must be unwound and rewound a ball. This will give our threads lightness, and knitting will take place evenly and without jumps, which, undoubtedly, worsen the quality of the product.

IMPORTANT. Spools of factory thread, as a rule, are very tightly wound, they must also be rewound into a new ball before knitting.

Knitting process

It is believed that the first row is the most difficult test, after which many people give up their attempts to knit on their own. But after all, any undertaking is not easy, however, we need only accuracy and attentiveness.

So, let's get to work. For study, we will consider an instance called Neva - 5.

1. We fill the yarn into the thread guide.
2. With a disk wheel we achieve the degree of tension we need. With proper tension, the string will be slightly bent.
3. We start the thread for the thread guide carriage and close the cover. The free end can be fixed to the left leg.
4. We fix the yarn on the needles. We start from the far left. Hold the thread and wrap the needle counterclockwise in one motion. After we twisted all the needles with threads, take a comb (it is included with the machine) and move our thread to the base of the needles.
5. We place the levers of the upper carriage on both sides in the triangle position.
6. We set the web density on the corrector to 8. The fabric we have, of course, will come out very free, but don’t forget, we knit only the first row and give more tension at this stage, neither manufacturers nor the craftsmen recommend it.
7. Now we expose the "cargo line", this is a device that will not allow the first row of loops to "heal" with a machine.
8. We move the carriage to the left and behold, we have tied our first row of loops. Now we repeat all of the above and knit our first sample.

This lesson will delight your loved ones with exclusive things, and bring you deep moral satisfaction.
