KNITTED HAVING PILE AND KNITTING METHOD AND MACHINE

摘要

A pile fabric has its basic fabric structure knitted from ground yarns (Y1) and a pile formed from pile yarns (Y2). Of the pile yarn wales at least one wale is constructed of cut pile stitches ([ DELTA l) and one or more other forms of stitch ([O], [X], []). A knitting machine with two needle beds has some or all needles in one bed replaced by blade- attached needles (1) and lifting (21) and lowering cams (22) therefor. By raising the needles (1) to a knitting position, by means of the cams (21), pile stitches held on the needles (1) are cut through forming a cut pile in the fabric.
