WideGauge Knitting
i0672
Shima’s SSG 122SV features WideGauge capability that allows a variety of gauges to be knit on a single machine. Shima says that this allows the freedom to handle changing seasons and shifting trends without investing in a machine for every gauge or resorting to the complex, time-consuming task of gauge conversion
According to Shima, a wide range of production is possible, from tighter, finer-gauge fabrics using all-needle knitting to more airy, lower-gauge textures using half-gauge (1×1) knitting.
