Abstract
A yarn feed mechanism for a knitting machine incorporates a power operated yarn feed device, for example motor-driven rollers, a yarn take-up device, for example one or more pivotally mounted yarn take-up yarns, and a yarn restraining device, for example one or more yarn tensioning devices. The yarn feed mechanism is arranged so that yarn to be knitted follows a path from the yarn feed device through the yarn restraining device to the yarn take-up device and then to needles of the knitting machine.
