DEF

A kink of yarn ... intermeshed at its top with the sinker loops of the following course.

The old loop which did not clear is the held loop and the new yarn forms the tuck loop. When the needle is cleared on a subsequent course, the knit loop formed is pulled through the tuck loop in addition to the held loop. Tuck loops are used for runguards, in the band area, and some places in the panty. The tuck loops are also used to put in sewing marks and machine identification marks.

OBS

Tuck loops are found in warp-knitted fabrics.
