ABSTRACT

The arrangement of cams in cam track system is very important to achieve the required design of the fabric. There are three basic types of stitches in weft knitting, so accordingly three different cams are placed in cam box. Each needle represents the respective wale in the fabric. The needle has different butt positions for different tracks. There are four basic types of stitches in weft knitting, namely knit, tuck, purl, and miss or float. Mostly, weft knitted fabrics and their derivatives are based on the combination of these stitches. The fleece structure is formed by tucking the loop yarn with ground yarn at selective position. This structure can be modified either by adopting the different tucking positions of fleece yarn or by increasing the fleece yarn courses in the structure repeat. The design has four courses repeat. The first and third courses represent the ground yarn, while the second and fourth courses represent the fleece yarn.
