Yarn properties (yarn from the image)

Scan a Yarn for the Fabric View

For a better representation of the knitted fabric, you can scan a yarn, create a stitch appearance from it and place it on the fabric view.

For this, proceed as follows:

    1
    Scan a yarn with a conventional scanner and save this image file in any desired folder.
    Recommended yarn length: 30 cm
    It is important that the background of the yarn is black when scanning and that the light reflects the least possible.
    2
    Click on Crea filato da immagine... in the Knit Explorer.
  1. The Windows file explorer is opened. There select the scanned image of the yarn.

The newly generated image for yarn appears in the currently opened folder of the Knit Explorer.
That is why you need to be sure to be in the correct folder when you generate the yarn.

Yarn Properties Dialog Box

Open the Yarn Properties dialog box with double-click on the newly generated image for yarn or via context menu of the yarn.

In the Yarn Properties dialog box, you make the following settings for the background information of the scanned yarn.

Nome

Enter a name for the yarn.

Composizione

Describe the composition of the yarn.

Produttore

Enter the manufacturer of the yarn.

Commento

Enter a comment.

Geometria della maglia in %

The stitch geometry determines the yarn thickness. This value affects the entire stitch uniformly.
The maximum value is 300.

If Geometria uniforme della maglia is switched off, then the yarn thickness can be defined differently for the different areas of the stitch.
But if the Geometria della maglia in % value is modified after, then all areas are adapted to this value.

Lunghezza del filato scannerizzato

Enter the length by cm of the scanned yarn.

Protezione in scrittura

Locks the settings.

Only the same user can change it.

Dialogo Parametri

Opens the Parameter dialog box where you make settings for the image of the scanned yarn.

Vista telo
