fabric weight.
When knitting with a longer underlap, more
yarn has to be supplied to the knitting needles.
The underlap crosses and covers more wales
on its way, with the result that the fabric
becomes heavier, thicker and denser.
Since the underlap is connected to the root of
the stitch, it causes a lateral displacement in
the root of the stitch due to the warp tension.
The reciprocating movements of the yarn,
therefore, cause the stitch of each knitted
course to incline in the same direction,
alternately to the left and to the right.

Lapping Diagrams
With the exception of
the
very
simplest
structures, it is too
time consuming to
represent warp knitted
fabric using stitch or
loop diagrams. For this
reason two methods of
fabric
representation
are commonly used.

they do when they are
conducted through the
guide bars and around
the needles on the
machine. The yarn path

processes or courses
recording a complete
repeat of the fabric

therefore, the numbers
read from right to left and
are entered between each

space.
The
numbering is done from
left to right when the
pattern drive is on the lefthand side of the machine.
The lateral movement of
the guides is initiated by
chain links of various
heights marked with 0, 1,
2, 3, 4, etc. This guide bar
movement is an especially
important part of the
pattern development.

stitch
construction
can
be
employed in the production of outerwear
and for ribbed velour fabrics (corduroy).
Even in these fabrics, the open pillar
stitch is more popular as it provides the
necessary longitudinal stability and runs
freely. It is used in conjunction with the
binding element in-lay' in laces and
curtains, though always with a second
guide bar.

consists of an

Pillar Lap
A pillar stitch (or chain
stitch) is a stitch
construction
where
lapping of a yarn guide
takes place over the
same needle.
As there are no lateral
connections between
the neighboring wales,
the stitches are only
interconnected in the
direction of the wales.

Pillar Lap
Due
to the absence of
underlaps, a fabric is not
created, only chains of
disconnected wales.
Single bar pillar lap is
technically possible only
on
Raschel
machines
where the trick plate acts
a knock-over bed.
On a tricot machine the
sinkers are unable to
control the position of the
old loop when there is no
underlap (pillar stitch) and
so the knitting of pillar
stitch on its own is
impossible.
