Knitting
Turns yarn count and loop length into the tightness factor, brackets the workable loop length between a tight and a slack limit, places the current setting inside that window, and reports needles, fabric weight and yarn consumption at the machine’s running speed.
Calculator
Knitting
Derives the elastane loop length from the plating draft ratio, splits fabric weight between ground yarn and elastane to give the content percentage against target, and reports the extension the elastane is held at and the retraction force per centimetre of fabric.
Calculator
Advanced Knitting & Hosiery
Balances front and back guide bar run-in on a two-bar tricot or raschel machine: runner ratio, stitch length per course for each bar, fabric produced per rack of 480 courses and the areal weight each bar contributes.
Calculator
Advanced Knitting & Hosiery
Predicts the compression resistance of a 3D spacer knit by treating each spacer monofilament as an Euler column: critical load per filament, fabric buckling pressure, column slenderness and thickness under a target compression strain.
Calculator
Advanced Knitting & Hosiery
Converts a sock design length and course density into total courses, pattern chain links, knitting time per sock, machine cycle time at a working efficiency, output per hour and stitches formed per sock.
Calculator
Advanced Knitting & Hosiery
Applies Laplace’s law to a seamless compression garment: interface pressure at the distal and proximal circumferences, the resulting graduation, and the fabric tension needed to hit a target pressure at the ankle.
Calculator
Advanced Knitting & Hosiery
Estimates the peak load a knitting needle hook carries from running yarn tension and dynamic knock-over loading, compares it against the fatigue-limited allowable rather than the breaking load, and counts the cycles the needle will see in service.
Calculator
Advanced Knitting & Hosiery
Quantifies the cost of intarsia colour blocking: carrier stroke per block including edge overlap, total carriage travel against panel width, the overtravel that buys nothing, and the yarn consumed in overlaps per panel.
Calculator
Advanced Knitting & Hosiery
Balances the three yarn streams of a fleece or terry circular knit — face, tie and pile — into areal weight per stream, total fabric weight, pile height from the loop length difference and the share of weight the pile carries.
