What Is The Difference Between A Single-needle Machine And A Double-needle Machine For Hosiery Knitting Machines?

The single-needle sock opening is referred to as the cuff for short. The cuff has a more prominent suture line, while the front and back of the double-needle cuff are the same. The seam is relatively flat and not protruding, and it is more comfortable to wear.

There is only one needle barrel for a single needle and two needle barrels for a double needle. The machine looks like an inverted needle barrel on a single needle barrel.

 

The difference between the products made by the two machines is that the single-cylinder cuff is double-layered and is used for weaving plain weave and terry.

 

The double-needle sock cuff is a single layer, and the double-needle is used to weave patterns concave and convex.

 

1. The hosiery machine is divided into a single cylinder and double cylinders, and socks are of course divided into single needle and double needle.

 

2. Identification method: Turn the sock upside down and look at the sock tube. If it is the same as the front of the sock, it is a double needle.

 

3. The number of needles in the sock machine is the number of needles in socks.

 

4. 21 counts and 32 counts refer to the thickness of cotton yarn or other plant fibers. The larger the number, the thinner the thread. If it is chemical fiber, it is represented by D. The larger the number, the thicker the thread.

 

Two-way three-color and three-way three-color are also fully computerized and can do upper and lower stitches, multi-color jacquard, and simple horizontal stripes

The whole computer is up and down needle, and can make horizontal stripes (color change)

 

A two-way incoming thread means that there are two places to feed the thread. Both the double-needle machine and the single-needle machine have a double-way incoming thread structure.

 

Double-needle jacquard has no thread ends, while single-needle jacquard has thread ends; in terms of the weaving effect and the overall comfort of socks, double-needle socks are a level more comfortable than single-needle socks. Many European and American socks have higher quality requirements and are specified. Made with double needles!
