This section is about the
properties and charactoristics of knitted fabric,
and an introduction to some industrial knit terminology.
First a definition of weft knitting,
followed by how stitches are structured. Next how fabrics are structured,
then to finish a glossary of knit-related terms.
In short this is the why and what, rather than the how, of knitted fabric.
