This device, which increases the striping capabilities, applies to 5" machines only. This model, in fact, has, as a standard, 6 fingers. The fingers of the striper with 8 fingers have a smaller guiding hole than the standard ones. Therefore, this device is not recommended below 84 needles
This device recalls the yarn from the cone and stores it on a small drum placed just above the feeding point. The yarn is then delivered to the knitting head with constant and adjustable tension, eliminating in this way, all the tension irregularities originated by the cones. Consequently, the sizes are more constant and it will be possible knitting yarns having low resistance.
This device can be installed only on machines without terry and it enables knitting socks with a reinforcing yarn in the sole/high heel areas.
The reinforcing yarn will be plated to the inside of the sock. It will also be possible adding a pattern on the reinforced area.
This device can be installed on the machines with Rimaglio device and enables the machine to eject the sock without the second re-turning. In other words, the sock is ejected turned inside-out. This is normally requested for an easier inspection of the socks. See video.
The second elastic colour is a standard in 4" machines. It is an optional device on all the other diameters.
