knitwear


Explanation:
técnica para entrelaçar o fio (de lã ou outra fibra têxtil) de forma organizada, criando-se assim um pano que, por suas características de textura e elasticidade, é chamado de malha de tricô ou simplesmente tricô.

Note added at 19 hrs (2010-01-03 11:37:56 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

Quando dei a frase de referência e aparece a referência a "tricô" fi-lo exactamente porque a palavra em inglês pode aplicar-se a ambas as situações. Pode ser aplicado para malha feita industrialmente ou manualmente.

Example sentence(s):
  • uma empresa familiar que se dedica à concepção e produção de malhas exteriores para homem, senhora e criança.
  • Quando está frio apetece vestiar uma camisola de malha
