Unlike woven fabrics, knitted fabric consists of entirely parallel courses of yarn. The first knitting trade guild started in Paris in 1527 an became a huge household occupation with the growing popularity of knitted stockings. After a short decline in popularity in the 80s, knitting made a resurgence with a revival that began at the turn of the millennia, in the year 2000. Popularized by models at shoots and movie stars making films, knitting has once again become a mainstream activity. Our Jessica Simpson ladies accessories are offered as knitted cardigans or crochet shrugs and perfectly complement every look.
