Bulky Rayon Fabric Knitting Machine (for bulky items)
It is used best for knitting heavy sweaters. The hooks are placed at a distance of.9 centimeters or 9 millimeters.
Knitters can play with cables and fairisle patterns on the bulky machines as these work best for such designs.
One cannot use a yarn lighter than sport or DK as they are the minimum what bulk machines can afford.
Though no knitting machine can replicate the exquisiteness of a hand knitted item but still it is prospering day in and day out for the simple reason of meeting the requirements of a highly industrialized society where hand knitting cannot cater enough.
There are lots of options when choosing a knitting machine. How do you determine which one is right for you?
Knitting machines come in three general categories: manual, card punch, and electronic or computerized. With a manual machine, you must move around the pegs by hand when you want to change the pattern.
With a card punch machine you input the basic pattern cards they come with (or make your own pattern cards) into the machine and the machine then knows how to change the configuration to make the patterns.
With an electronic machine, there are files stored in its memory for basic patterns (again you can add your own), and it reads the pattern just like a card Suede Fabric machine does and moves the needles automatically to make that pattern.
