Knitting is the process of using two or more needles to pull and loop yarn into a series of interconnected loops in order to create a finished garment or some other type of fabric. The word is derived from knot, thought to originate from the Dutch verb knutten, which is similar to the Old English cnyttan, “to knot”. Its origins lie in the basic human need for clothing for protection against the elements. More recently, hand knitting has become less a necessary skill and more of a hobby.

  • L'ancêtre du tricot est sans doute ce qui est connu sous le nom de nålbinding. Les trouvailles archéologiques les plus anciennes ont été réalisées avec cette technique, et faussement identifiées comme des tricots. La trouvaille la plus ancienne de tricot au sens propre consiste en fragments de chaussettes coptes en coton finement décorées trouvées en Égypte et datant de la fin du Xe siècle. Compte tenu de la finesse et de la sophistication du décor bicolore, il faut supposer que l'invention elle-même du tricot est bien antérieure. (fr)
  • L'inizio del lavoro a maglia non ha una datazione certa per la difficoltà di distinguere se le notizie pervenute riguardassero il lavoro eseguito ai ferri oppure quello a telaio. Certo è che questo argomento, recentemente rivalutato da studi approfonditi, ci offre notizie sicure e documentate solo quando ci si ferma al II o III secolo dopo Cristo perché prima la storia si confonde troppo spesso con la leggenda.Sono state però trovate sculture che risalgono al IV secolo a.C. che hanno fatto ipotizzare che il lavoro a maglia fosse ormai entrato nella vita quotidiana, come dimostra una statua greca, che si trova ad Atene, nel Museo del Partenone, Kore n. 670, che sembra indossare un maglione come quello dei nostri tempi.Pur non avendo documenti specifici al riguardo, ad una osservazione atten (it)
