Looped cord starts with a knitting head

Look at the cord body first. Loops belong to cord knitting. Crossed strands belong to braiding.

Small loops

Looped surface, soft round feel. Use a cord knitting machine.

Crossed strands

Strands pass over and under. Use a braiding machine for this structure.

Spiral bundles

Twisted yarns are a different process. This usually needs another process.

Finished cords these machines can make

Tell us the cord you make: drawcord, stretch cord, shoelace-type cord or knitted rope. Cord size and yarn decide the head, yarn feed and take-up.

Garment drawcord

For hoodies, waistbands and bags. Diameter and hand feel matter.

Elastic cord

Stretch cord and earloop cord need yarn plus elastic core details.

Knitted shoelace-type cord

Use this machine only when you see loops, not crossed strands.

Soft knitted rope

For bag cord, packaging cord and thicker soft rope. Output target matters.

Parts that shape the cord

Soft, round or firm cord comes from the head, yarn feed and take-up. Speed alone does not decide the finished cord.

1

Knitting head

Sets loop size and cord shape.

2

Yarn path

Keeps yarn feeding smoothly.

3

Elastic core feed

Used for stretch cord and earloop cord work.

4

Take-up

Controls roundness and firmness.

Watch the needle head run

Yarn enters the needle head, closes into loops and leaves under take-up tension.

Take-up pulls the cord out evenly.

Head, yarn feed and take-up are prepared for the cord work.

Run before packing

We can run the machine before packing when a test record is needed.

Questions from cord knitting buyers

Answers to common questions for a cord knitting machine order.

What is a cord knitting machine used for?
A cord knitting machine makes looped cord from yarn. We use it for industrial soft round cord, garment drawcord, elastic cord, selected shoelace-type cord and knitted rope work.
Is my cord knitted or braided?
Knitted cord is made from loops and feels softer. Braided cord is made from crossed strands and feels firmer. If the strands cross rather than form loops, see our braiding machine category.
Can Credit Ocean match an existing cord?
Share a cord photo or short sample, finished diameter, yarn and stretch requirement. We will size the knitting head and recommend a machine type.
Can one machine make elastic cord and shoelace-type cord?
It depends on the cord structure, diameter, yarn, elastic core and take-up. Some work can share one machine; some cords need a different head or process.
Why does the machine price change?
Cord knitting machines are quoted by cord size, yarn, stretch requirement, machine type and voltage. Send a photo plus the details you know; output target helps when you already have a production plan.
Are you a manufacturer or supplier?
Credit Ocean is a textile machinery manufacturer and supplier. We manufacture and prepare cord knitting machines and related textile machines, then support the order with operation guidance and spare parts.
Do you supply for a new cord line or dealer order?
Yes. We can prepare a machine list, spare-part list and packing details for a new line or distributor order. Voltage, packing and support terms are confirmed per order.
Is this a hobby i-cord or hand knitting machine?
No. Credit Ocean cord knitting machines are industrial textile machines for factory production. They are not hobby, hand-knitting or toy spool-knitting equipment.

Add diameter, yarn, stretch requirement, output target and voltage if you have them. We will recommend a machine type.
