what changes are required in Knitting machine to produce big motif by using coloured yarn?
Answers
Answer:
The simplest way to mix colours into a knitted fabric by creating multi coloured stripes. You
may also have noticed most of the stripe designs you see are horizontal in nature. Let us look at
the way to create stripes in Flat Knitting machine. After knitting a few courses with one colour,
change the yarn feeder with a different one which is having a different coloured yarn in it. This
time a new colour would be knitted above the previous colour. This way you can create
horizontal strips in knitted fabric.
A normal hand driven flat knitting machine will be equipped with two yarn feeders. If more
colors are required, you may have to manually change the yarn of one of the feeder. This way
you can manage any number of colors in a Knitted pattern.
In case of Advanced Knitting Machine, there are more number of feeders. Some of them are
equipped with 40 feeders to produce complex strip pattern. It is also interesting to know that
vertical strips are not possible in Weft Knitting machine using the standard strip method. If we
need to create a vertical strip, we can use Jacquard, Intarsia or Platting technique
