Italian term or phrase: intarsiate
Can anyone help with the term "intarsiate" found in the following garment description (so no other context I'm afraid): "Cardigan in costa inglese con losanghe intarsiate". Many thanks in advance.

Explanation:
Intarsia is a knitting technique that allows you to create panels in a different color/yarn in the middle of your project. By using a special joining method, you prevent your fabric from falling apart.

neutral  philgoddard: They're not actually inlaid, they just look that way because they've been intarsia knitted.

debossed/jacquard


Explanation:

could be:
debossed. indented. The term refers to an intentional indentation rather than a defect; for example, a school seal debossed on the cover of a yearbook. When the image is raised rather than inpressed, the term is [embossed].
