Mastering Machine Knitting
Hoaki (Verlag)
9788417656997 (ISBN)
In the world of textiles, knitted fabric is one of the most
complicated to work with but also one of the most used. This is
a book for all fashion lovers who, while fascinated by knitted
fabric, have not dared to venture into this field as well as for
advanced and professional knitters who want to systematically
round off their knowledge. It includes all the steps necessary
to create a knitted garment, from the choice of yarn to
manufacturing apparel, explaining such things as how to use
a flatbed knitting machine correctly and the linking, cutting,
sewing and, ultimately, ironing of knitted garments. The book
not only takes into account how crucial it is to recognize and
develop a stitch. It also acknowledges the increasing importance
of knowing how to represent stitches for different machines in
a useful way. For the first time, the author describes the various
stitches in a clear and well-structured way with a language of
symbols developed for use with all kinds of studio and domestic
knitting machines regardless of the brand: Brother, Silver
Reed, Passap, Coppo and Dubied. The book includes examples
of working with traditional materials like wool, alpaca, cotton
and linen but also encourages experiments with paper, plastic
materials and vegetal and metallic yarns to create texture,
three-dimensional effects and unusual volumes.
