In a description of knitwear (jumpers) for men
Dear folks, please would you know how to interpret this word in the context below?
Maglia a Dolcevita in pregiato puro cashmere mélange Loro Piana, in maglia inglese calata, dalla vestibilità regolare con collo alto risvoltabile realizzata in fine maglia calata con rifinita sui margini con filo elastico per garantire maggior tenuta.
Also:
Lavorabile su finezza medio alte e rifinita sui margini con filo elastico per garantire maggior tenuta.
Could it mean something like machine washable? Or something completely different?
Many thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Finezza 12/14 refers to the gauge of the knit, which is the number of stitches in an inch. I've normally seen "lavorata/o" and not lavorabile, but given the surrounding context you gave in your follow-up, "knit in a medium 12/14 gauge" would be closest.
If you have bit more leeway, "medium weight 12/14 gauge knit"
If you have bit more leeway, "medium weight 12/14 gauge knit"

It seems to refer to the mesh that can be thicker than the medium one.
