You've likely worn knit socks and T-shirts -- they're machine-knit. A lot of clothing is knit, not woven. Fabric does not have to use big and chunky threads to be knit; the loops can be quite a small gauge in size.
- MikeTheGreat 1y agoAh - that makes sense. I was thinking of hand-knit clothing, which (as you say) tends to be big enough and chunky enough that you can see the stitches. TIL - thanks :)
- eru 1y agoYou can take a magnifying glass to any old t-shirt you have around. Or these days, you can also just take a snapshot with your smartphone and zoom in. Compare with what you see on jeans and dress shirts, polo shirts, dress pants, socks, etc. It's quite interesting.
