BOOK REVIEW:

Dictionary of Knitting Technology

The Dictionary of Knitting Technology explains up to 1,500 important terms from the knitting industry, including 380 figures. The dictionary combines explanations from construction and production technology with product describing terms.

Furthermore the dictionary contains a lot of structures and patterns for knitted fabrics: from opaque to filet net, from highly elastic to dimensional stable. Single or multicoloured knitted fabrics as well as fabrics with plain or structured surface are also displayed with its structures and patterns. So the dictionary is interesting for both, technologists and machinery manufacturers as well as designers and for those who are working in the product development.
