Basic Lapping Movement

Experiment Name: - Study on the basic lapping movement.

Introduction:

Lapping diagram is drawn around horizontal rows of points that represent needles in plain view, generally assuming the pattern mechanism to be on the right. A chain notation is a list in correct sequence of chain link numbers spaced in to knitting cycles for each guide bar necessary to produce a particular structure. In this experiment we study about the warp knitting design or structure with chain notation.

Objects:

1.     To know the types of warp knitting design.

2.     To know the lapping diagram.

3.     To study the chain notation of various design.

4.     To get an idea about over lap and under lap.

Basic lapping Movement:

1.     Pillar or chain stitch

2.     Tricot stitch or 1 over 1 lapping movement (1×1)

3.     Cord stitch or 2 over 1 lapping movement (2×1)

4.     Longer reciprocating lapping movements

A)  Satin (3×1)

B)   Velvet (4×1)

5.     Atlas stitch or lapping movements

A)  Tricot Atlas

B)   Cord Atlas

C)   Satin Atlas

D)  Velvet Atlas

6.     Two needle overlap
