INLAY KNITTING 

​

Our Shima Seiki inlay knitting machine could create different woven-like structures with its weft inlay yarns. From jacquard looks to engineered quilted patterns, the machine provides much more possibilities on creating hybrid look designs or new types of sweater garments.

LOOP PRESSING SYSTEM

 

By utilizing a loop presser bed, stable hold-down of loops are achieved, allowing full control especially when producing inlay patterns. Inlay fabric is produced by inserting yarn into existing knit fabric in a weave fashion, yielding unique fabrics that are neither typically knit nor woven. Inlay also suppresses typical stretch characteristics of knitwear, and since new yarns and materials can be used for inlay structures, new applications in addition to fashion apparel such as sports and medical as well as other industrial applications can be anticipated.
