Abstract (en)

A yarn feeder for circular knitting machines that have a plurality of knitting needles includes a first threading hole (12), a second threading hole (13) and a jutting yarn guiding member (14) on a lower edge for feeding three yarns (30, 31, 32) corresponding to a knitting needle (20). The three yarns (30, 31, 32) enter a hook (21) of the knitting needle (20) through the first and second threading holes (12, 13) and the yarn guiding member (14). The hook (21) is a common point, forms a first included angle (A) with the yarn guiding member (14) and the first yarn threading hole (12), and forms a second included angle (B) with the first threading hole (12) and the second threading hole (13). The second included angle (B) is larger than or equal to the first included angle (A). Thus the three yarns (30, 31, 32) can be directed smoothly into the hook (21) of the knitting needle (20) without forming interference. Traveling of the three yarns (30, 31, 32) is smoother.
