Letter: Knit one, Perl one

Published 8 October 2014

From Paul D

I was interested to read about a computer-controlled loom that can create 3D fabrics (27 September, p 21).

That is certainly an innovation. However, there is another, more established, way of creating 3D fabrics. It’s called knitting.
