Sažetak
There is much high quality research into the history of dress. Unfortunately, the history of knitted garments is very poorly represented in these works and existing research focuses much more on the history of hand knitting. Museum collections have rarely preserved knitwear and concentrate on woven clothing. Therefore, it will be interesting to see the knitted objects in the Zagreb museums. The technical parameters of the museum objects were obtained by measurements and when this was not possible, by observation. The basic details of the historical knits, such as horizontal and vertical density, were measured. By referring to the horizontal density and structure of the particular knitwear, the gauge of the knitting machine was estimated. Based on all known parameters, we formalised conclusions about the possible types of knitting machines upon which the specific knitwear items could have been manufactured.
