cable knit
Twisted yarn texture
Cable knit is a style of knitting featuring twisted, rope-like patterns that stand out in relief from the fabric.
The interlocking braids resemble nautical cables or ropes.
The technique produces thick, textured garments—especially sweaters and cardigans: a cream-colored cable knit sweater, Irish cable knit patterns.
As a modifier: cable-knit socks.
