Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for controlling twist in a tubular knitted fabric being withdrawn from a circular knitting machine includes an annular twist control member rotatably mounted to the circular knitting machine for disposition within the tube of the fabric. The twist control member is independently rotatable from the other rotational aspects of the circular knitting machine and frictionally imparts counter rotation to the fabric to prevent twist. Optionally, various rotations of the twist control member may be achieved to reduce or impart twist as desired.
