ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to circular weft knitting and according to the method described, those stitches which are formed between a cylinder needle and a dial needle are formed around a guide member which lies in the angle between the verges of the cylinder and the dial, these stitches sliding off one end of the guide member. The guide member lies in at least that region of the machine where the needles begin to lift, and preferably extends beyond the position at which the needles slip the loops so that the stitches formed between the cylinder needles and the dial needles are completely formed over the guide member.
The invention is particularly useful for controlling the insertion of a lay-in effect yarn, since the guide member provides a containing effect which restricts movement of the lay-in yarn out of the mouth between the stitches already formed on the cylinder needles, and those about to be formed on the dial needles. It is possible to use lay-in yarns of large diameter.
The invention includes a guide member having a circumscribing yarn guide and an axially extending guide finger, and further the invention includes a circular knitting machine fitted with such a yarn guide.
