<p>A device (40) to enable two yarns to be supplied separately to the feeder of a knitting machine is disclosed. The feeder is of the type in which each of the yarns is fed through an aperture (46) to a needle, and the device comprises an elongated housing (42) defining an enclosed path (44) extending between an exit aperture located at one end of the housing and adapted to be mounted in contact with an aperture (46) of the feeder and a second aperture located at the end of the housing remote from the exit aperture (48), for receiving yarn from a yarn store. The housing is preferably provided with a further aperture for the supply of compressed air (54) to the enclosed path, in order to simplify the rethreading of a needle when the yarn breaks. The device is particularly suitable or use when one of the two yarns which is being supplied to the feeder is a hard yarn such as a cotton yarn and the other is a resilient yarn such as a Lycra yarn.</p> |
