Knitwear is a type of woollen garment, typically made from yarn or thread in a process called knitting. KNITWEAR is usually lightweight and flexible, making it a popular choice for clothing such as sweaters, cardigans, hats, scarves, and gloves. It is also used to make blankets, throws, and other home accessories. KNITWEAR is often made from natural fibers such as wool, cotton, and linen, but synthetic fibers such as acrylic and polyester are also used.
