Yarn Preparation For Knitting - Singer 560 Operation Manual

YARN PREPARATION FOR KNITTING
A yarn of suitable thickness or kind has to be used according to the type of
knitting. For knitting on the Knitter, the yarn having the thickness close to
the yarns (2-3) in the left photo is recommended. When the Ribber is con-
nected, the yarn having the thickness close to the yarns (1-2) in the left
photo is recommended.
Correct preparation of the selected yarn is also a very important step to
assure proper knitting.
..
It is not possible to knit from a hank of yarn or hand wound ball, as for
machine knitting it is essential for the yarn to feed into the machine freely.
Place the hank onto your arms or a Skein Holder and wind into a ball using
the Yarn Ball Winder.
The Skein Holder and Yarn Ball Winder are useful optional accessories.
When yarn is rewound, ensure that the yarn end comes out
freely without I ifting the ball from the table.
We recommend you to wax the yarn during winding by
simply letting the yarn run over an ordinary white candle
or knitting wax.
