Deutsch Begriff oder Satz: Wirkware
I have a set of guidelines for textile manufacture, which has two sections: "Wirkware" and "Strickware". Is there are more precise translation for either of them than "knitted fabrics"

Strickware - weft knits

Zustimmung  Textklick: I can't find knitware in Pons, but knitwear is listed. Your 'Knitware' is a software program. I'll agree on a "sounds like" basis.

Erklärung:
is my shot, while "Strickwaren" are knitted by hand - at least that is what I deduce from Wahrig.

It may of course be that German speakers have become sloppy in their use of "stricken" to cover machine-knits too, but after Wahrig's definition of stricken as using one or two round needles to gather wool etc. into a series of loops and so on, I'd say that's definitely wrong.

And the other expression is "hand-knits" or "hand-knitted garments or fabrics".

IMHO.

Widerspruch  Sabine Griebler: Hand-knitted fabrics are always weft knits, but weft knits can also be machine-knitted.

warp knit farbric


Erklärung:
Wirkwaren entstehen nicht wie beim Stricken Masche um Masche, sondern dadurch, dass mehrere Maschen zugleich vorgeformt (Kulieren der Schleifen) und dann zu Maschen ausgearbeitet werden.

Sorry Sabine, habe die 2. Antwort nicht gesehen. Warp knits ist natürlich auch richtig.
