Who could have ever imagined that what began with two, possibly wood or bone, hand-knitting needles has, today, turned into a very necessary part of everyone's wardrobe. We see and wear tubular knitted hose, circular knitted jerseys for sportswear, warp knits for lingerie and heavier flat knit gauges for sweaters. As with wovens, the history of knitwear began primarily with wool or silk yarns spun from nature's best. Then today's technology has allowed for the creative expansion into man-made polyesters and other synthetics used for high performance wear. Our myriad selection of stitches covers all knitting techniques from the most basic of rib and purl stitches to raschel and intricate cabling treatments. Within our many different categories of knitwear designs you can see a range of stripes, jacquards, plaids, argyles and prints.
