What is a Knitting Machine
A knitting machine is a device that makes knitting faster and easier. It automatically creates fabric from yarn without the manual use of knitting needles. With a knitting machine you can make a variety of items such as scarves, hats, toys, blankets, and more.
Here's how it works:
Needles: It has lots of needles arranged in a row or a circle.
Yarn: You feed the yarn into the machine.
Movement: The machine moves the needles and yarn to create loops, forming knitted fabric.
Patterns: Some machines can create different patterns and textures by following a set design.
