  • Knitting – Wikipedia
    Knitting is a method for the production of textile fabrics by interlacing yarn loops. It allows for the creation of various types of knitted fabrics with different properties such as color, texture, thickness, and heat retention. The topology of a knitted fabric is relatively complex, allowing it to stretch in all directions.
  • Jersey (fabric) – Wikipedia
    Jersey is a knit fabric used predominantly for clothing manufacture. It can be a very stretchy single knitting or a double knitted jersey with less stretch, creating a heavier fabric. Jersey was originally made of wool but is now made of wool, cotton, and synthetic fibers.

Basic knitted fabrics include stocking stitch, reverse stocking stitch, garter stitch, seed stitch, faggoting, and tricot. In some cases, these fabrics appear differently on the right side (as seen when making the stitch) than on the wrong side (as seen from the other side, when the work is turned).
