Roositud
Roositud (, or ), also known as roosimine, Estonian inlay, or knitweaving, is a inlay knitting technique originating from the Estonian knitting tradition, specifically from the southern parts of western Estonia, and the east and north parts of Mulgimaa. It is traditionally only found on socks, stockings, and gloves. Gloves with roositud inlays are called (literally, rose-patterned gloves). Alongside lace knitting, travelling stitches, and stranded colourwork, it was one of the most common design features found in extant samples of 19th and 20th century Estonian mittens in the Estonian National Museum. Unlike other forms of colourwork, which rely on different stitches being knit in different colours, only one colour is knit per round or row in the roositud technique. To produce pre-charted motifs, lengths of the contrasting colour are carried around the wrong (or back) of the knitted round, then pulled between the working stitches and draped across the front (or visible) side of ...

Inlay
Inlay covers a range of techniques in sculpture and the decorative arts for inserting pieces of contrasting, often colored materials into depressions in a base object to form Ornament (art), ornament or pictures that normally are flush with the matrix. A great range of materials have been used both for the base or matrix and for the inlays inserted into it. Inlay is commonly used in the production of decorative furniture, where pieces of colored wood, precious metals or even diamonds are inserted into the surface of the carcass using various matrices including clear coats and varnishes. Inlay (guitar), Lutherie inlays are frequently used as decoration and marking on musical instruments, particularly the smaller String instrument, strings. Perhaps the most famous example of furniture inlay is that of André-Charles Boulle (1642–1732) which is known as Boulle work and evolved in part from inlay produced in Italy during the late 15th century at the ''studiolo'' for Federico da ...

Textile Techniques
Textile is an umbrella term that includes various fiber-based materials, including fibers, yarns, filaments, threads, and different types of fabric. At first, the word "textiles" only referred to woven fabrics. However, weaving is not the only manufacturing method, and many other methods were later developed to form textile structures based on their intended use. Knitting and non-woven are other popular types of fabric manufacturing. In the contemporary world, textiles satisfy the material needs for versatile applications, from simple daily clothing to bulletproof jackets, spacesuits, and doctor's gowns. Textiles are divided into two groups: consumer textiles for domestic purposes and technical textiles. In consumer textiles, aesthetics and comfort are the most important factors, while in technical textiles, functional properties are the priority. The durability of textiles is an important property, with common cotton or blend garments (such as t-shirts) able to last ...

Knitting Ornaments
Knitting is a method for production of textile fabrics by interlacing yarn loops with loops of the same or other yarns. It is used to create many types of garments. Knitting may be done by hand or by machine. Knitting creates stitches: loops of yarn in a row; they can be either on straight flat needles or in ''the round'' on needles with (often times plastic) tubes connected to both ends of the needles. There are usually many ''active stitches'' on the knitting needle at one time. Knitted fabric consists of a number of consecutive rows of connected loops that intermesh with the next and previous rows. As each row is formed, each newly created loop is pulled through one or more loops from the prior row and placed on the ''gaining needle so'' that the loops from the prior row can be pulled off the other needle without unraveling. Differences in yarn (varying in fibre type, ''weight'', uniformity and ''twist''), needle size, and stitch type allow for a variety of knitted ...
