Multi Colour Jacquard. More choice. Less guessing.

The simple idea

Jacquard is not only about colours.

It is also about how those colours are knitted.

A complex Jacquard design is not made in one simple step. Each row is split into passes.

A pass is one movement of the carriage with a colour or colour group.

What eKnitter adds

You see the choices before you knit.

eKnitter analyses the design first.

Then it shows how the design can be split into passes.

Instead of hiding the complexity, eKnitter makes it visible — so you can make a professional decision without doing all the work by hand.

Choice 1

Balanced: predictable rhythm.

Balanced means the rows follow a clear, repeated structure.

This is useful when you want the fabric to feel more regular and controlled.

The trade-off: some rows may include passes that are there for structure, not because the image needs them.

Choice 2

Flow: pattern-driven structure.

Flow lets each row use the passes it actually needs.

This can reduce unnecessary passes and can make the backside reflect the real design more directly.

The trade-off: rows are no longer identical, so the fabric can behave differently.

Extra control

Max Colors gives you another way to guide the result.

Some designs have many colours, but not every row needs all of them.

With Max Colors, you can set how many colour blocks a row may use.

Why professionals care

Because every pass changes the fabric.

A pass is not just a technical detail.

Even when a pass does not add visible colour, it can still add yarn, thickness and tension.

That is why choice matters.
