ABSTRACT:
A plain or patterned high-pile or sliver-knit fabric is manufactured on a circular knitting machine which has a cylinder carrying latch needles, horizontally movable sinkers and a carding cloth to comb-in pile fibers to the latch needle hooks during knitting of a base fabric before the base threads are fed to the needles. The needles receiving the combed-in pile fibers are raised at the start of combing-in to a level at which the tips of the latches of the raised needles are positioned below the knock-over or knitting edges of the sinkers and the stitches of a previously knitted course of the fabric remain on the latches. The pile fibers are combed-in at this level.
