Flow Chart of Yarn Feeding Mechanism
Yarn Feeding:
The yarn feed to the needles in order to form the fabric must be conveyed along a predetermined path from the spool/cone to the knitting zone. The various motions along this path guide the yarn (thread guides), adjust the yarn tension (yarn pensioners’), and check for eventual yarn breaks.
