knitwear Explanation: Malha é um tecido que é tramado/tecido em "U", diferentemente do tecido plano, que é tramado como uma tela. Tive dificuldade de encontrar um termo em inglês que defina exatamente este conceito de malha em português, então sugiro knitwear (apesar de achar parecido com tricô, era a definição mais próxima no dicionário Oxford). Também encontrei, no dicionário online (referência abaixo), Jersey, como o colega sugeriu, e stockinet (knitted stretch fabric). https://www.wordreference.com/pten/malha |

fabric Explanation: The term "malha" is used in Portuguese for any kind of straight and smooth fabric. It has practically become a synonym for "tecido" in this area (clothing). I don't know if the same applies to Portugal, though. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2020-07-14 15:50:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- A simple search for "malha" in Google Images returns all kinds of threaded fabrics. https://www.google.com.br/search?q=malha&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKE... And the same applies to "fabric" in English: https://www.google.com.br/search?q=fabric&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUK... |
