A wide variety of different grounds:

The patterning possibilities offered by the EL drive system for handling the ground guide bars can be used to increase the range of patterns that can be worked on the marquisette-like ground. The electronic control facilities and managing the pattern data of both the pattern and ground guide bars also enable the ground lapping to be changed within a repeat effortlessly.

By creating a new range of patterns on the FL 20/16, the product developers at KARL MAYER have succeeded in developing something new and innovative #

To produce the filigree design with its delicate, arching lines, a regular lattice-like ground was used, into which GB 17, 19 and 20 segmentally worked additional lengthwise stripes. As well as grounds with a marquisette look, tulle constructions can also be worked on the FL 20/16.

 

Colored effects:

Processing yarns with different colored sequences is another way of creating patterns on sari fabrics. Fig. 4 shows the wide range of optical effects that can be produced. A space-dyed, multicolored yarn was processed to produce the pattern illustrated here, and its mixture of colors highlights the dynamics of the design elements attractively. Additional colored accents can be worked by combining the bright, iridescent yarns with single-color yarns.

 

Finishing:

No special know-how or additional equipment is needed to finish the warp-knitted sari fabrics. As is usual, the fabrics are washed, dyed, thermofixed, stentered and treated by carrying out soft-touch finishing. The wide range of patterns on the new sari fabrics is absolutely fascinating!
