The advent of knitwear opened up a new trend in fashion, which affected both underwear and outerwear. Few of the lovers of this soft, elastic fabric know that the earliest finds of knitwear date back to the 3rd - 1st centuries BC. Today, in the wardrobe of every person there are things sewn from knitted fabric. In order not to depend on stores and clothing designers, you can purchase Severyanka knitting machines and create your own products to your taste.

Yarn selection

The best options for working on a knitting machine are cotton, wool, wool blend or synthetic threads.

What is convenient is the ability to knit on the Severyanka knitting machine with both new and old threads. It is enough to dissolve the boring product, processyarn and create a new fashion masterpiece.

When choosing a yarn, it is important to pay attention to such indicators as strength, uniformity in thickness and the number of twists at a certain length. You can improve the yarn performance yourself, for which steaming is most often used, in which the skeins are kept in hot water.

Preparing yarn

To reduce the friction of the threads during knitting, you can carry out initialing, for this it is enough to lubricate the bobbin on which the yarn is wound, well lubricated with paraffin, or when rewinding, pass the thread through two pieces of this substance, holding them in your hands. This method is suitable for cotton, wool and wool blend threads.

If you use yarn from a loose product, then it should be washed thoroughly in a soapy solution with a small amount of ammonia, and then rinsed thoroughly in warm water and dried.

In order for the Severyanka knitting machines to work efficiently, it is possible to steam the yarn, for which the balls are put in a colander and put in a water bath for 30-60 minutes, after which they are thoroughly dried.

Knitting machine device

The basic elements for a hand knitting machine are needles, deckers and platinum, which together form needle-platinum products. In the presence of these elements, the Severyanka knitting machine (user reviews confirm) allows them to be rearranged without affecting the quality of the resulting knitted fabric.

This machine has reed needles, which have a special reed when turnedthe hook is closed along the axis when the next loop is removed from it. The included bowl ensures that the tongue is firmly in contact with the hook during the loop.

Platinums are stamped pieces whose beards support the needle when creating a new buttonhole.

The carriage refers to the binding element, which includes wedges fixed in the locking system. As the carriage moves along the needle bar, the wedges move the needles and create one row of stitches at a time.

After new loops are formed, the needles rise to the tongue, which provides the final stage of work, in which the loop slides over the needle and falls behind the tongue. After that, the needles return to their original working condition.

Knitting machine needle bed

Hand knitting machine "Severyanka" has needle beds with five blocks. The needle bed is divided into 168 grooves, inside of which steel grooves are installed, needles move along them.

Two special rails attached to the needle bar are not only a sliding place for the carriage, but also an element for attaching it to the stand. The stand is made of sheet steel and has a rod with platinum springs. Knitting machines "Severyanka" are equipped along the plates with a special shield with discs with a rubber gasket. The discs are used at the beginning of the process when securing threads.

The needle bed together with the rails is fastened with screws and nuts to the stand, while maintaining the displacement of the blocks and rails relative toher. This allows the needles to pass freely.

Repair of knitting machines "Severyanka", for example, replacing the needle, is carried out independently according to the instructions. More serious breakdowns should be fixed by specialists in appliance repair shops.

Replacing needles

"Severyanka" is a knitting machine, the instruction for which offers simple steps to replace a broken needle:

• first of all, you should loosen the screws of the upper rail near the needle;
• lift the loose rail and remove the broken needle;
• insert a new needle, tighten the screws and check how the carriage slides along the rail;
• after checking the sliding quality of the carriage, you need to tighten the screws tightly.

When doing this work, you must ensure that all needles are inoperative.

Installing the knitting machine

Knitting machines "Severyanka" have a high accuracy of tasks, if all the rules for use and its maintenance are observed.

When buying a new manual knitting machine, it should be carefully wiped with a soft cloth from the protective grease. Then, using a thin soft brush, you need to lubricate all the main elements of the machine with engine oil. This should be done for both new and used equipment. It is important that kerosene, oil or gasoline do not get on plastic parts.

After the preparatory work, the Severyanka knitting machine (customer reviews note this) is easily attached to the edge of the table using clamps on the stand. On the needle bar, it is necessary to set the needles to non-workingposition, and only then install the carriage.

The carriage is inserted into the rails and checked for ease of sliding. After that, you should check that the brushes do not come into contact with the plate, and the loop counter is at the required angle. All detailed instructions are in the instructions for the machine.

Before you start knitting, you need to set the required number of needles to the working position. To facilitate the calculation, every 10th platinum is painted black on the Severyanka machine. All unclaimed needles must rest against the lower rail.

By moving the carriage from right to left, the needles are set to their working position, after which the adjustment of the density of the loops is set. The length of the loops depends solely on the thickness of the thread.

Knitting Methods

There is a trial type of knitting, in which the density and length of the loops are set using open loops, and the main one.

To get an open edge, you need to install the carriage on the left, fasten the tip of the thread behind the left washer of the shield, made of rubber. With the right hand, a thread is pulled onto the needle tongues ready for work, and the carriage is moved to the right. Then you need to do the same with your left hand, and move the carriage to the left. It is important that the thread is always wound behind the nose of the platinum, which is located behind the last working needle.

The main thing is knitting a product with the help of closed loops. To do this, the tip of the thread should also be fixed behind the left washer of the shield, but do not pull it, but wrap it around the heads of the working needles from right to left,then move the carriage to the left. In this case, the loops pass under the tongues of the needles.

Then with your left hand you need to bring the thread behind the first working plate, and also draw the thread onto the open tongues, then move the carriage to the right. The thread is always laid along the movement of the carriage so that there are no breaks in it. The carriage must always be brought to the end, otherwise both the needles and the grooves may break.

Knitting fabric with patterns

To get not only a smooth knitted fabric, but also patterns on the Severyanka knitting machine, you should add manual operations to the work of the technique. In this case, you can create countless patterns for every taste.

With the help of manual operations, it is possible to create an incomplete knit, in which the weave does not form several buttonholes. This is done by simply turning off the needles from the working state, which allows you to create any openwork patterns.

With the addition of manual operations, it is possible to create jerseys with uneven and inclined loops.

Features of the knitting machine

On the Severyanka knitting machine, you can produce both knitted fabric with its further use, and finished products: socks, gloves, mittens, skirts, sweaters and much more.

The main models are given in the instructions, but you can adapt the machine's capabilities for modern and trendy models of any complexity.
