A UNIQUE MACHINE FOR UNPRECEDENTED FINE GAUGE FASHION
Introducing the new LAPIS warp-weft hybrid knitting machine, combining fully modernized warp insertion capability with the latest in weft shaping technology. Only the most advanced mechatronics engineering can realize such a sophisticated technological combination. The result is evident in the unique products LAPIS can produce. Multi-color intarsia patterns can be combined with warp knitting patterns such as vertical stripes and warp jacquard to provide an unprecedented range of head-turning knitwear. LAPIS allows today's knit designers to explore entirely new creative opportunities with colorful fine gauge hybrid fabrics.
