Why can’t machines crochet?
In: 5532
There is a textile production method called [warp knitting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp_knitting). My understanding is that it is closer to crocheting than actual knitting. With it you can produce all kinds of interesting patterns and designs which can not be achieved with [flat knitting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_knitting). For example lace – which is traditionally associated with crocheting – is nowadays usually produced in the warp knitting process. It can also be used to achieve mechanical properties of the fabric which are otherwise very difficult or even impossible to create with other methods.
Why do i know this? I work for a company which does business in the warp knitting industry.
