Flat knitting machine
A flat knitting machine is a device used to produce fabrics by interlocking yarns in a flat, wide sheet rather than in circular tubes. It has multiple needles aligned in rows and columns, allowing for precise control over pattern and texture. As the machine moves back and forth, it creates flat pieces like sweaters, panels, or scarves. This type of machine offers versatility in design, fabric width, and customization, making it a valuable tool in both industrial and craft textile production. It operates efficiently for creating intricate patterns and varied textures in knitted fabrics.
