Let me introduce you to the different people who help make a knitting mill run.
The firstthing you have to ma know is the material.
The winder winds yarn onto cones.A wiindig machine is operated by a person who, oddly enough, is called a "winder." After the yarn is put on the cone, she give it to the knitting department.
The mechanic chooses the correct yarn for the piece of material he has to knit.
The knitting machine has stands on which the cones sit. The mechanic puts the cones on the stands. Het hen runs it down to a "feed" attached to a cylinder on the machine. The appropriate number of needles are placed in slots. For example, a cylinder could accomodate 637 slots.
Then the mechanic starts the machine off. The emerging cloth is inspected by knitters constantly.
And if the cloth is all right, they fulfil;l the amount required.The designer comes in at the end after the cloth8 isade up. She checks the finished cloth to guarantee perfection.
