After learning basics about textile materials, the day after we had a lecture about knitting - one of the two main ways to make a fabric. What waited for us was learning how are knitted fabrics formed, which machines do we use for making them and how do we categorize knitted fabrics. After the lecture, we had a small, fun group assignment.
Starting from the basics about knitting, we got familiar with term "loop" which is a stitch pulled through another loop with knitting needle. That process is called interlooping. Knitted fabrics are divided into warp knitted fabrics and weft knitted fabrics (according to direction of knitting).
