Knitting is one way to convert thread or yarn into fabric, called Knit or Knitted fabric. Knitted fabric consists entirely of horizontal parallel courses of yarn. The courses are joined to each other by interlocking loops in which a short loop of one course of yarn is wrapped over the bight of another course. Knitting can be done either by hand or by machine.
Knit fabrics are used world wide of apparel and industrial uses. Of these end of uses, apparel is the largest. The knitted fabrics tend to be less durable than woven fabrics. A new and rapidly developing trade in the knitting industry is the production of technical textiles and composites.
