Versatile knitwear

Knitwear is an indispensable item in women's wardrobe. It is not as thick as thick sweater, but it can protect the body from the cold wind. No matter in the spring and autumn when the temperature is suitable, or in the cold winter, it can be harmoniously matched with skirt and trousers to produce an extraordinary effect.

Knitwear is a technological product that uses knitting needles to form loops of various materials and varieties of yarns, and then connects them into knitted fabrics through string sleeves. Because of its soft texture, good wrinkle resistance, good permeability and great elasticity, the sweater is a necessary item for spring, autumn and winter.

Development of knitwear

The commercialization of knitwear began in Europe. The skills of knitting were introduced to Europe through Spain. Since the middle ages, knitted gloves have become expensive items used by European nobles in special ceremonies. Since then, knitwear has experienced important development stages in different countries and stages in Europe.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, almost every household in Scotland made knitting related products. It is also in this national "knitting" atmosphere that the fisherman's shirt in Scotland has become the earliest complete sweater in history. It is comfortable to wear and simple in style. Today, this fisherman's shirt is still used. The knitting brand Pringle of Scotland's rhombus inlaid pattern once became a fashion trend because it was favored by the Duke of Windsor. This original design later became a symbol of Scotland.

At the same time, knitwear in France, Italy and other countries also developed rapidly, and took the lead in forming a relatively complete knitting system in Italy. These early knitwear, which were mainly hand knitted, were mostly socks and gloves, and the production tools were only wood products and bone needles.

In 1589, William Lee, an English priest, invented the first manual crochet knitting machine, which gradually replaced manual knitting with mechanized knitting. In 1758, the British inventor jededia stratt invented the patent of rib knitting by machine. The clothes woven by this method have greater ductility and fit better, making the knitwear more popular. In the 19th century, the power machine led to the invention of the circular knitting machine, which was driven by a water wheel or steam engine. Later, the flat knitting machine was driven by mechanical force. In 1864, William carton successfully invented the multi-functional flat knitting machine, which is still in use.

In the 1960s, Sonia riquel, 32, designed the first sweater by herself. Six years later, with the opening of her first boutique in Paris, the sweater she designed quickly became its most representative clothing, and Sonia riquel was also known as the "Queen of knitting". Subsequently, Sonia rikiel pioneered the invention of clothes with seams and locks exposed outside, eliminating the pleats and linings in previous clothes, and gradually enriching the design of knitwear.

In the knitting processing industry, China has always been in a strong competitive position. With the continuous development of the knitting processing industry and the transformation of its technology, China's knitting processing products have been introduced to all parts of the world with the advantages of excellent quality and low price, and have certain advantages in brand, quality and characteristics. Many regions in China have excellent knitting industry bases, such as Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Sichuan.
