What is flat bed knitting machine?
A flat bed knitting machine is a type of knitting machine that features a flat horizontal needle bed or plate, with the needles arranged in a straight line across the width of the machine. This allows the machine to produce flat pieces of knitted fabric, such as scarves, sweaters, and blankets.
The flat bed knitting machine works by using a series of needles to knit yarn back and forth across the needle bed. The yarn is fed through a tensioning mechanism and guided by a series of guides and loops. The needles then move up and down to create the stitches, allowing the machine to produce a variety of stitch patterns and textures.
Flat bed knitting machines can be manually operated or computerized, and can come in a range of sizes, from small home machines to large industrial models. They are widely used in the textile industry for producing high-quality knitwear, and are also popular among hobbyists and home knitters.
