Abstract
A yarn feeder for circular knitting machines includes a jutting section located on a yarn feeding section of the yarn feeder. The jutting section has a yarn directing surface to allow the yarn to either slide over the surface without forming floss, or to retain the floss on the jutting section. Thereby, the yarn maybe fed smoothly and effectively above the knitting needle without rupturing to allow the knitting needle to raise and pick up the yarn as the knitting operation proceeds.
