Technology


Strutt's rib attachment
Since 1589 manufacturers have used a range of different technologies to produce their knitted goods. Each technology has been exploited by framework knitters and designers to produce varied and unique finishes to goods, in the hope that people will want to buy them. Flat bed frames, wide frames, circular machines, and rotaries produced goods that sold around the world. The technology theme provides an explanation of the key technologies and processes relating to the industry.
