EXCERPT FROM “Introduction to -Knitting Machines- and Machine Knitting”
This article is for the information of those of you who would like to invest in a Home/Commercial unit, but are new to the machine knitting scene.
Before you purchase, you will have to make an informed choice. The information contained in this article (plus some advice from a friendly dealer, perhaps) will help in this direction.
Primarily, your choice will be made based on the type of knitting you wish to do: i.e.: lightweight knitting, heavy weight knitting, different types of knitted fabrics, patterning, etc.
And the type of knitting you want to do will influence your choice of knitter on which to do it.
Knitting Machines are no great mystery. They do what they are designed to dothey knit. Basically, they do exactly what a pair of needles can do. But because they automate the process, they are able to produce the finished product much, much faster, and into the bargain, create knitted fabrics of a complexity far beyond the scope of hand knitting capabilities.
In general, there are two types or “categories” of machine, Japanese manufacture and European manufacture. The Japanese units do an excellent job of lighter knits, while the European handle a wider spectrum of fabrics.
Japanese machines include STUDIO (Singer), BROTHER, and SILVER REED. These knitters generally knit lighter weight fabrics. These fabrics include “fair isle” with floats (which are the little strings strung across the back of the fabric) lace, and knit-woven fabrics, which are of special interest to the sewing brigade in general. Also included in this fabrics list are the variety of simple stitches common to all.
On the other hand, the European machines (PASSAP, for instance, is Swiss made) are designed to knit double-knitted (no floats) and textured fabrics. The majority of fair isle fabrics produced are usually destined for sewing machine use.
