Description | This chapter explains briefly how some cloths are constructed through the intermeshing of loops of yarn. Basic knitting techniques are reviewed, and different types of knitted cloths explained. Relatively modern innovations in knitted cloth manufacture are identified. Mention is made also of a range of construction techniques, considered principally in the realm of craft production, including netting, macramé, lace making, sprang, braiding and crochet. The importance of embroidery as a widely accepted embellishment technique is stressed. Numerous images of embroidered pieces held at the University of Leeds are presented. Book Name: Textile Design |
