Sinkers capable of producing loop fabric are well known in the knitting industry. In such machines the sinkers generally include a blade having an upper edge which defines a lower knitting level and a nib having an upper edge which is at an upper knitting level. Long loops are formed at the upper knitting level of the sinkers with a loop yarn and a base yarn is knitted over the blade. The sinkers may be formed and their movement controlled to cause either the loop yarn to appear on one side of a fabric and the base yarn on the other or the loop yarn to appear on both sides.

In the past it has not been possible to producing loop cloth of ideal quality since loops would twist or coil making it difficult to finish a loop fabric into satisfactory velor. Furthermore loops which were supposed to appear on the front of a fabric would sometimes appear on the other side. The back of loop cloth was therefore apt to have objectionable loose protruding loops and double tuck stitches.

Sinkers Operation
1. The held loop is positioned in the throat of the sinker when the sinker moves forward and the needle moves upward for clearing. The held loop is held by the throat and hence its movement along the needle is restricted.
2. The sinker remains at its forward position when the needle attains its clearing position.
3. The sinker retracts when the needle comes down after feeding. At this stage, due to sinkers retraction, fabric or held loop is eased out. Also the sinker belly supported the fabric or held loop and hence its movements along the needle is prevented.
4. Sinker remains in backward position and the needle descends to its lowest position drawing the new loop through the old one.
5. Before the needle ascends, the sinker moves forward to push the knitted fabric a little and to hold the old loop away from the head of the needle and to be in a position to control the fabric.
