Abstract
A crochet galloon machine needle () in accordance with the invention is provided on its hook outside () with a guide projection () having a tip () that is preferably located above the center axis (A) of the needle (). This needle () has an enlarged weft thread capture range and is thus particularly suitable for the manufacture of dense knitted goods. In addition, said needle enables the operation with reduced take-off tension and, optionally, also with reduced weft thread tension. This helps increase the service life of all system components.
