ABSTRACT:
A yarn carrier designed to minimize needle wear yet which is relatively easy to thread is described. The yarn carrier includes a yarn guide having an aperture for receiving a yarn and directing it to the needles of a knitting machine, and a flexible, nonmetallic guard plate secured to the guide such that at least a portion of the guard plate overlies at least a portion of the aperture in the guide plate, to reduce the tendency for the hooks of the knitting needles to enter the aperture. The guard plate is desirably made from a polymeric material such as polyurethane, and preferably has a Shore A hardness of about 50-70. The guard plate is desirably deformable so that an operator can readily bend it outwardly from the yarn guide while threading a yarn through the yarn guide aperture, yet when the bending force is released, the guard plate readily resumes its initial undeformed configuration.
