Knitwear production refers to the manufacturing process of garments made from knitted fabrics, which are created by interlocking loops of yarn. This technique allows for a stretchable and comfortable fabric that is commonly used in various clothing items such as sweaters, t-shirts, and hosiery. The production process can involve both manual and automated techniques, depending on the scale of production and the complexity of the designs.
