Q. What are the uses of circular knitting machines?

Answer

Fabric production and garment construction involving decorative stitching are the two primary uses for circular machines. Latch needles are used in modern circular knitting machines because they are more user-friendly and can work with a wider variety of yarns. The circular knitting machines have a latch needle with a sliding latch that is used to create loops, as well as cams that help the needle create either knit loops, tuck loops, or miss loops. Loop-forming sinker aids in sinking the freshly placed yarn, while holding down sinker secures the previously laid yarn, and knocking-over sinker wires the already laid yarn as the new loop is drawn through it.
