<p>In order to process yarn preliminarily, and to change over precisely at a desired knitting position, the yarn (12) fed to the flat knitting machine (10) is processed by a yarn processing device (18) and is changed over in character such as color. To change over the yarn (12) at the changeover position D on the fabric (11), it is necessary to actuate the yarn processing device (18) preliminarily at the actuating position C. The controller (21) calculates the actuating position C from the set value in the setting circuit (22) and pattern information from the memory (23), and when the encoder (16) detects that the yarn feeding position to the knitting needle has reached the actuating position C, the yarn processing device (18) is actuated. The length of the yarn from the yarn processing position A to the actuating position C is nearly equal to the sum S of the loop length for knitting from the actuating position C to the changeover position D. <IMAGE></p> |
