double knitting
Medium-weight craft fiber
Double knitting is a technique that creates two layers of fabric simultaneously, producing a thick, reversible textile with no wrong side.
The layers can be separate or joined, allowing for two-color patterns that appear as mirror images on each face.
Also refers to a medium-weight yarn suitable for this technique, common in British knitting terminology: The pattern calls for double knitting wool.
