What is "knit"?

Knit is a type of textile that is made by interlocking yarns in a series of loops using knitting needles or a machine. The loops form a series of V shapes, which creates a flexible and stretchy fabric that is perfect for garments like sweaters, hats, and socks. Knit fabrics can be made from a variety of fibers, including wool, cotton, silk, and synthetic materials like polyester. Because of its flexibility and stretch, knit fabric is often used for athletic wear and other clothing that requires a greater range of motion. The density and thickness of the knit can vary depending on the type of stitch used, which can result in a variety of textures and appearances.
