Example 1: Color Arrangement for 'Modify color sequence'

The color sequence is to be influenced with this Color Arrangement CA1, which determines the order of the knitting colors (yarn carrier).

Create the Color Arrangement CA1:

  1. The pattern project of pattern Pattern-7 is open.
  2. Pattern in Amostra de desenho is active.

    : Colors from the Cores de fio table were used to draw the basic pattern.

Result after technical processing

  • Default knitting process from the original CA
  • Yarn carriers are not combined

: This knitting process can also be knitted with 'Normal yarn carrier', as there is never more than one yarn carrier at one position and also no yarn carrier has to pass another.

The colors (= yarn carrier) from the 'processing area' of the CA are processed according to the number of knitting systems of the selected machine.

  • Search Area:
    The symbol (default entry) repeats the needle action from the source row in the entire color area from the left to the right
  • Processing Area:
    Based on the symbol, the corresponding needle action from the source row of the design pattern is read out and knitted according to the search color.
