Leading flat knitting machine manufacturer Stoll has introduced a new knitting technique called Stoll-weave-in® where floats can be interlaced into knits in the weft direction. The result is a woven like knit with woven like properties. The new technique will be highlighted in the German company’s upcoming Capsule Collection ‘woven stitches’, which will be launched at the end of May.

The novel Stoll-weave-in technique is knitted on the new CMS ADF 32 W, which is equipped with a weave-in device and 32 autarkic or independently controlled yarn carriers. Using special yarn carriers, weft yarns for coarse gauges can be woven into a fine gauge single jersey layer bringing out what Stoll refers to as amazing coarse and fine weave-in effects.

H. Stoll GmbH & Co. KG is a leading international manufacturer of flat knitting machines based in Reutlingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The company was established in 1873 and currently has about 600 employees worldwide.
