Knitting machines are specialized equipment used in the textile industry to create knitted fabrics from yarn. They operate by interlocking loops of yarn using a series of needles and can produce a variety of fabric types, including jerseys, rib knits, and purl knits. These machines can be manual or automated and are typically made from metal and high-strength plastics to withstand the rigors of continuous operation.
