Knitting (tricotar)


Knitting can be described as a manual process of making garments by hand with one or more appropriate needles for this purpose. It includes wool yarn, cotton and linen. Before industrialization extended to all countries it was very common as a second occupation in the homes of disadvantaged families during the day or during the long winter evenings.

Tricotar pode ser um processo manual de fabricar peças de vestuário à mão com uma ou mais agulhas apropriadas para o efeito. Processa-se com fios de lã, algodão e linho. Antes da industrialização se estender a todos os países era muito frequente como segunda ocupação nas casas das famílias menos favorecidas, durante o dia ou nos longos serões de inverno.
