Determination of technological parameters for knitting old Georgian ornaments on knitting machines

Abstract

The work presents the results of analysis, systematization, typologization and classification of old Georgian woven ornaments by using modern technologies. Namely: we made sketches and knitting schemes of the found patterns, selected yarn and raw materials. To determine the optimal technological parameters of knitting, we carried out knitting on household type machines LK150, LK155 and SK280, on flat-panel machine "ПВПЭМ" and on computer-controlled knitting machine "ARROW*STAR". With yarn of different linear densities, patterns were knitted and processed to obtain optimal knitting parameters for a mathematical model. Patterns of ornaments were knitted using the obtained technological package. The results showed that on machines of the SK280, LK150 and LK150 Type, any ornament can be woven, while on a flat Fang machine only horizontal geometric ornament. On the computer-controlled knitting machine "ARROWSTAR“, a horizontal geometric ornament was knitted like a flat knitting machine. Complexly shaped woven ornaments can be obtained with knitting machines equipped with computer programming.
