Knitting machine number

Knitting machine number
The machine number is expressed by the number of stitches in the length of 25.4 mm (1 inch) on the needle bed.
The machine number of the knitting machine indicates the density of the needles on the needle bed. The higher the machine number, the more the number of stitches in a certain length on the needle bed, that is, the smaller the stitch length; otherwise, the fewer the stitches, that is, the larger the stitch length. When the machine number is indicated separately, it should be composed of the symbol E and the corresponding number. For example, the 18 machine number should be written as E18, which means that there are 18 knitting needles in the 25.4mm on the needle bed.
Knitting machine: A machine that weaves "knitted fabrics". In 1589, the British pastor William Lee invented the first hand knitting machine. In the 1870s, with the invention of electric motors, hand-cranked knitting machines were replaced by high-speed electric knitting machines. The machine number of the knitting machine indicates the density of the needles on the needle bed. The machine number is expressed by the number of stitches in the length of 25.4 mm (1 inch) on the needle bed. The higher the machine number, the more the number of stitches in a certain length on the needle bed, that is, the smaller the stitch length; otherwise, the fewer the stitches, that is, the larger the stitch length.
The knitting machine is a process in which a knitting needle is used to form a yarn of various raw materials and varieties, and then connected into a knitted fabric through a string. Knitted material is soft, has good wrinkle resistance and breathability, and has greater extensibility and elasticity, and is comfortable to wear. In addition to being used for decoration and decoration, knitted products can also be used in the fields of industry and agriculture as well as health care and national defense. Knitting is divided into two categories: hand knitting and machine knitting. Hand-knitted needles have a long history, exquisite craftsmanship, flexible flower shapes, and have been widely spread and developed in the private sector.
