Abstract: A yarn tension control device of knitting machines is revealed. A plurality of yarn tension control devices is disposed on a knitting machine for control of warp yarns while weaving the warp yarns to produce fabrics. The warp yarns can be metal yarns. The metal yarns on a yarn disc are passed through a guide holder, bars for drop wires, and drop wires and then entered steel healds and reeds. Thus a constant yarn tension over the warp yarns is ensured by the yarn tension control devices during a weaving process of weft yarns. The tension of the metal yarns is the same with the tension of textile yarns. Thereby a stable yarn tension over the warp yarns gives uniform fabric appearance.
