Circular Knit Stretch Sensor

Step 2 Threading machine

Before starting on your sensor you should first take time to get to know the circular knitting machine and be sure that you are able to get it to knit nicely. Expect the first few attempts to be messy. Machines come with instruction but the following steps will cover the general instructions that apply to most models.

To start, thread the yarn through the tension rig and through the hole into the center of the knitting machine. During the entire knitting process, if you machine makes strange noises, check that the thread is able to run through the tension rig with no extra friction on it, even having to unwind itself from the ball of yarn can sometimes be too much weight for the machine and it will help if you unwind the yarn ball so that the yarn can feed into the machine with absolute ease.
