German term or phrase: Kettstuhl
Something to do with the weaving process, I believe. My document is about fabrics. This is just a heading, does not occur in a sentence.

warp knits
Explanation:
If the text is talking about the fabrics themselves; also warp-knit fabrics. If it is more about the machines with which they are produced, then warp-knit/warping machine, and if about the process, then warp knitting.

Warp Knit
A type of knitted fabric construction in which the yarns are formed into stitches in a lengthwise manner. Warp knits are generally less elastic than weft knits. Common examples of warp knits are tricot knits and raschel knits.

Of course it is "warp knitting machine", though "warp knit machine" does get a Google or three.

Also, for your Spitzenraschel, "raschel lace" is better than "lace raschel"
