A knitting machine is a device used to create knitted fabrics automatically. It works by using a series of needles to interlock yarn, producing various patterns and textures. These machines can be manual or electronic, allowing for different levels of complexity in the knitting process. Knitting machines are popular in both industrial and home settings. They can significantly speed up the production of knitted items, such as sweaters, scarves, and blankets. Many modern machines come with features that enable users to customize designs, making them versatile tools for both hobbyists and professional knitters.
