Product Overview
Yarn Guide WR-1012286 is listed in our yarn guides group for circular knitting machine maintenance. Ceramic and metal yarn guides, eyelets and guide bars that carry the yarn from the creel to the feeder and on to the needle without abrading it.
What This Part Does
Every metre of yarn on a knitting machine slides over guide surfaces. A ceramic eyelet or guide gives a hard, smooth, low friction path so the yarn keeps its twist and its lubrication, and so the guide itself does not wear a groove that later cuts the yarn.
Zirconia and alumina ceramic guides are used where yarn speed and abrasion are highest. Metal guides, brackets and holders position the ceramic parts and hold the yarn path in line between creel, storage feeder and feeder finger.
Key Benefits
- Hard ceramic running surfaces that resist grooving from continuous yarn contact
- A wide range of eyelet, pigtail, bar and bracket forms to match different machine builders
- Consistent bore and radius so yarn tension stays even feeder to feeder
- Low cost per piece against the cost of the yarn breaks a grooved guide causes
Application Scenarios
- Yarn path from creel to storage feeder
- Feeder input and output eyelets
- Lycra and elastane guide positions
- Guide bars and rails across the machine top plate
- Tension unit and stop motion guide positions
Who It Is For
- Mills running fine count or filament yarns that mark easily
- Maintenance teams replacing grooved guides during machine service
- Machine builders assembling creel and feeder systems
Problems It Solves
- Yarn breaks and fluff caused by a groove worn into an old guide
- Tension differences between feeders that show as barre in the fabric
- Filament yarn splitting where it runs over a metal edge instead of a ceramic surface
- Guides that no longer sit square after a bracket has been bent

Only values printed on the product name and in our own records are listed here. Dimensions, material and hardness are confirmed against your machine before you order, not assumed.
What to Send Us When You Order
- A photo of the old guide, ideally still mounted, and one of it removed
- Bore diameter and overall length or a photo next to a ruler
- Machine builder and model, and the position on the machine
- Yarn type and count running through that position
Use Guide
- Confirm the reference against the old part and the machine plate before ordering a full machine set.
- Order one complete set per machine where the part is fitted in multiples, so wear is even across the fabric.
- Clean the mounting position before fitting. Fly and old oil are the most common cause of a new part not seating.
- Check the machine on a short run and measure the fabric before returning it to full production.
- Record the reference against the machine so the next reorder does not have to be identified again.
Yarn Guides Questions
Why use ceramic instead of a metal eyelet?
Ceramic is far harder than the yarn running over it, so the surface stays smooth for much longer. A metal eyelet grooves, and once a groove has a sharp edge it starts to cut filaments.
How do I know a guide needs changing?
Run a fingernail or a piece of yarn through the bore. If it catches, the guide is grooved. Guides are usually replaced as a set across a feeder row so tension stays even.
Can you match a guide from a photo only?
Often yes, if the photo shows the part beside a ruler and you tell us the machine and the position. Bore diameter and mounting form are what we need to confirm.
Do you supply the brackets and holders as well?
Yes. Guide brackets, bars and holders are listed in this group alongside the ceramic parts.
