Abstract
The effects of some factors on the defect in plain-weft knitting due to knots are investigated in detail, using a cotton yam and a worsted yarn. The results obtained are as follows:(1) The knitting defect due to the knot is almost the knitting hole caused by the end breakage in plain-weft knitting zone. The end breakage occurs near the knot on the take-down side.(2) The end breakage rate increases together with the increase of the depth of stitch draw, the input tension, the take-down weight, the machine gauge, the coefficient of yarn friction, the step length of cam, and the machine speed. But the increase of the cam angle decreases the end breakage rate.
