Abstract: There is provided a yarn guide unit for use with Jacquard controlled warp knitting machines. The guides comprise a plurality of conventional yarn guides and, between each yarn guide there is provided a shorter, rigid tab. The guides and the tabs are mutually oriented so that the head of the tab contacts an adjacent face of its neighboring yarn guide. The contacted face of the yarn guide is always the side of the yarn guide other than that contacted by the influencing Jacquard dropper pin. The effect achieved by the presence of rigid contacting tabs is to both reduce feathering of the yarn guides after withdrawal of the influencing Jacquard dropper pin and to insure that the yarn guide, on the immediately following stitch cycle is correctly oriented in the warp knitting machine with respect to the needle bed.
