Letter: Knit one, purl one

Published 5 May 2001

From Kendall Miller

Regarding power-generating clothes
(14 April, p 21), the difficulty in
connecting photovoltaic threads to a load would be greatly simplified if the
garment were knitted instead of woven.

A knitted garment uses a single strand of yarn for a full section of the
garment, so you would only need connections at the ends of the strand.
