There are another two types of knitting machines, one is the 3.5 mm pitch for the finer yarns and the finer yarns and the other one is the 9.0 mm pitch for the thicker yarns, You can select the machine according to the thickness of yarn. B) Proper tension gauge ‘There are too many types of yarn to show all of them here and each type of yarn requires its own tension dial number so, find the correct tension dial by referring to the following table. Tension dial is graduated from 0—10, each space being subdivided into three parts. nan ite 3.5mm piteh 2.0mm pitch Very fine | 0 Uitra fine 0-7] Fine Super fine [1= 3 Medium very fine [a= 6 Thiek 6—0[ Fine [6-7] [Double knit ew] 4 — 8 Very thick | 9-10] Medium [7-10] [uwetnice [8 — 10 18 These tension dial numbers are the averags sion dial numbers for plain knitting.
