What is a Links stitch?

Links stitches are created when the warp and the weft are interlinked to create diagonal stripes. It is often used in men’s garments such as jackets, trousers and gilets, and it is particularly well suited to golfing wear because it is comfortable and breathes well. It is also often used to create garments such as jumpers and cardigans. Purl knit, also called links-links, is made using specialist equipment equipped with a single series of double pointed needles capable of working both sides of the knit. It is characterised by a series of straight rows on both sides.

What is full Milano?

The full Milano stitch is created when the warp and the weft are interlinked to create horizontal or vertical lines. The full Milano is extremely versatile and can be used to create a vast range of garments such as jumpers, cardigans, trousers and dresses. It can also be applied to a variety of textiles of different thicknesses in accordance with preferences and needs

Full Milano is made by working both sides with all needles in order to obtain two identical sides. It is a compact jersey knit on both sides which is famous for elasticity and strength, making it particularly suitable for clothing and sports jackets for Autumn and Winter, fitting well and offering an infinite range of colours.

What is an interlock stitch?

 Interlock stitch is a knit with a two by two weave, where the warp and the weft come together to make a thick and compact knitted fabric. Interlock stitching is often used to make comfortable, breathable garments like light and heavy jumpers and tops. In addition, interlock stitch is resistant and does not easily lose its shape, making it perfect for daily use.

Interlock allows us to obtain a knitted rib, with a jersey type effect, used particularly in autumn and winter to make thermal cotton.

Interlock can be:

1. In 100% cotton, very compact and warm, suitable for a variety of situations, and difficult to tear or break;
2. Mixed, with cotton and other materials like elastane or polyester to add stretch to the garment;
3. Organic, in pure organic cotton.

What is half fisherman’s rib?

This is a knit presenting ribs or horizontal stripes. It is often made in wool or other warm, comfortable materials, and is ideal for winter wear. In addition, half fisherman’s rib is highly versatile and can be used to make a wide range of garments like jumpers, cardigans, trousers and dresses.

It requires a relatively fine yarn because it folds the knit over the needles in two passes, with a thread always folded and resting on the needles. For this reason the yarn cannot be too thick as the result would be excessively heavy and thick.

What is Honeycomb?

Honeycomb knit is usually made in wool or other warm, soft materials, and it is perfect for winter clothing.
