Abstract
The present invention provides a method of producing double-knit goods or fabrics having additional fleece threads incorporated into one face or both faces thereof and a nap or fleece is imparted from these threads by napping. The method comprises feeding the backing or ground yarn only to the needles of both needle sets (dial and cylinder) which are fully raised for stitch formation, while feeding the additional fleece thread to the needles of one needle-set (cylinder) which form stitches and tuck loops, and/or feeding the backing yarn and the additional fleece thread in successive steps of operation and knitting them into common stitches on one needle set (dial) and into stitches and tuck loops on the other needle set (cylinder).
