Etymology

The term 'stockinet' originates from the French word 'stockinette', which refers to a type of knit fabric. The word itself is derived from 'stocking', the knitted legwear traditionally worn in Europe during the medieval period. The knitting techniques used to create stockinet have been employed since the 16th century, evolving over time with advancements in textile technology. Initially, stockinet was used primarily for making stockings and undergarments, but its versatility and comfort have led to a wide range of applications in various fields, especially in fashion and healthcare. Today, it is recognized for its role in creating stretchy and breathable fabrics commonly found in modern clothing.
