Scenarios about 'framework knitting'
Framework knitting refers to the textile production method using a mechanical knitting frame, first invented by William Lee in 1589 and widely used during the Industrial Revolution. This technology revolutionized textile manufacturing by increasing production speed while reducing labor costs, becoming central to the British hosiery industry. In alternate history scenarios, different trajectories of framework knitting technology could significantly alter patterns of industrialization, labor movements, and economic development across Europe and colonial territories.
