Creating and Editing a Yarn

You can set information and properties of yarn types individually and optionally.

Optional yarn information:

Yarn properties:

纱线根数

The quantity of individual threads indicates of how many individual threads the yarn type is composed. Depending on the quantity, new individual threads appear at the left side of the dialog window with further parameters. The maximum value of the plying is 20.

加捻

The twist specifies how strongly the individual threads are twisted with each other. The maximum value of the twist is 200. Additionally, the S and Z twist of the yarn type can be specified.

线圈几何体百分比 %

By the setting of the stitch geometry, the thickness of the stitch loop, the stitch legs and of the stitch feet can be influenced.
The maximum value is 300.

If 相同线圈几何体 is activated, the geometry of the yarn type is changed evenly.

纱线排列

The type of yarn arrangement influences whether the individual threads twist or not. This can be set to automatically by the system or manually by the user. With the manual setting, the user can move every yarn by its cross-section to any preferred position.

使用预览颜色

The preview colors simplify the creation of a yarn type, as individual threads are displayed in different preview colors.
This is especially useful for Mouliné or melange effects.

But the preview colors have no effect on the actual color of the digital yarn.

纱线横截面

The cross-section shows the current position of each single yarn that was defined by the quantity of the individual threads.

With the manual setting, you can move the threads manually to the desired arrangement.

方案

The schema defines the basic appearance of a yarn type.

Currently the user can choose between 默认 and 股线.

纱线根数

The user can define several sub-threads for each individual yarn.
The maximum quantity of sub-threads is 50.

纤维数量

The quantity of fibres is an optical value to define the quantity of the fibres of each thread.
The maximum value is 800.

纤维细度(微米)

The thickness of the fibres is expressed in micrometers.
The maximum value is 100 micrometers.

纤维加捻

The twisting of the fibres shows, how the fibres and sub-threads are twisted together.
The maximum value is 100.

纱线加捻

For information, the user can add whether it is about an S or a Z twisted yarn type.
