knitting machine
Mechanical yarn looper
A knitting machine is a device that automates the production of knitted fabric, using a row of hooked needles to form interlocking loops of yarn.
Industrial knitting machines produce textiles at scale; smaller versions exist for home use.
The machine produces knit fabric much faster than hand knitting, though with less flexibility in technique.
