High Speed Heads
Lightweight latch for high-speed knitting
The primm latch replaces the regular latch in many high-speed knitting applications. The spoon of
the regular latch has been moved onto the hook tip. In this way, the latch is made thinner and lighter
which allows the latch to knit at increased speeds.

Mirror polish inside hook to prevent yarn breakage and filamentation
The interior of the hook is polished which results in a perfectly smooth surface.
This process eliminates yarn breakage and filamentation from the moment the needles
start knitting.

Significantly reduced tension during loop formation
The Yarn Tension Release Notch was developed to solve the problems related with the latch
splitting yarn filaments and unwanted tuck stitches. The notch allows the latch standing to be lowered which results in an easier castoff while maintaining the same clearance underneath the latch. This reduces loop deformation which enables the needles to withstand the stresses caused by high-speed knitting. Additionally, the notch delays the closing of the latch sufficiently to minimize the latch scissoring the new yarn.
An added advantage that the Yarn Tension Release Notch provides is that the inherent
reduction in tension during loop formation also creates less lint and so helps
to prevent many problems associated with lint buildup.
