Atlas laying

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Atlas layouts (schematic representations)

  • Open laying

  • Double laying

The atlas laying is a basic type of warp knitting .

Here, the threads on the warp knitting machine are laid several times one after the other and evenly in the same direction on the adjacent needle and then in the same way back to the original double crochet. The threads brisk in contrast to Satinlegung not. The stitches are thereby warped at an angle. This results in the zigzag image typical of the atlas . In order to increase the weight of the goods, storage can be made, with relatively short floats.

  • Ordinary atlas: open layout, offset by a needle
  • Interlaced atlas: closed laying
  • Atlas laying without turning back: Milanese (a fixed knitted warp fabric with a clear mesh diagonal, more elastic than other warp knitted fabrics)
  • Double atlas: Two guide rails are used that work against each other.
