摘要

A knitting machine capable of changing a pile length include a low-pile sinker and a high-pilo sinker, a low-pile selector jack arranged on the rear end side of the low-pile sinker, a high-pile selector jack arranged on the rear end side of the high-pile sinker, an actuator oporable to, when a pile yarn and a ground yarn are drawn in by a knitting needle, selectively perform the first control in which the actuator acts on the low-pile selector jack, the second control in which the actuator acts on the high-pile selector jack, and the third control in which the actuator does not act on any of the low-pile and high-pile elector jacks, and a cam oporable to push out the selector jack subjected to the action of the actuator and the sinker which is in contact with the selector jack to an area between the knitting needles.
