Tape/Tube Yarn Production Note

Tape and Tube Yarns are commonly made on small-cylinder tape knitting machines. In one production method, the outer shell and yarn guide rotate while the needle cylinder remains stable. The yarn guide position must match the needle’s up-and-down movement so the needle catches the yarn at the right moment.

If the guide position or feeding height is not correct, the needle tongue may cover the hook or push the yarn away, which can cause missed stitches, dropped loops or uneven tape density. During sample development, yarn count, material, guide position, take-up speed and knitted swatch appearance should be checked together.

Take-up/output roller speed can change tape density: faster take-up may stretch the loop and make the tape less dense, while slower take-up may create a denser tape. Coarser or finer yarns, metallic yarns, filament yarns, cotton yarns or space-dyed yarns can be selected according to the target effect.

Metallic Tube Yarn Supplier Notes

This acrylic polyester lurex metallic tube yarn is suitable for sweater and hand-knitting yarn development when the buyer wants a bright metallic effect. For this type of yarn, the acrylic or polyester base yarn should be dyed or selected before the tube yarn is made. Later dyeing may reduce metallic shine or cause uneven color because metallic yarn and base yarn do not react the same way in dyeing.

For a quotation, send the target count, metallic color direction, base yarn color, hand-feel target and knitting gauge through the yarn RFQ page. Related reading: tube yarn guide and metallic yarn tension control.

Lurex Metallic Tube Yarn Sample Request

This acrylic polyester lurex metallic tube yarn is suitable for buyers who need a visible metallic effect in sweater or hand knitting yarn development. For sample discussion, confirm the target count, base yarn color, metallic thread color, hand feel, gauge and final fabric use.

For metallic tube yarn, base yarn color planning should happen before production. Later dyeing can damage metallic shine or cause uneven color, especially when different fiber components require different dyeing conditions.

Send a metallic yarn quotation request or review the tension control guide before sample confirmation.
