Are you saying that they somehow successfully prevent 
anybody and everybody, over a period of decades, from 
buying or stealing a few breeding pairs and exporting 
them to the rest of the world?

I pay people so I won't have to do drudgery like that.
Hand knitting is ok for relatively bulky items like 
sweaters and toques (as long as somebody who actually 
likes that stuff is doing that knitting), but I can't 
see anything but a machine doing the kind of knitting 
that goes to make dress socks, sport socks, next-to-skin 
shirts and tights, etc.  (The fine yarn and the tiny, 
tiny loops..... and repeat half a million times.)

Hmm.  It might be interesting to write the user and 
maintenance manuals for knitting machines. Lotsa intricate 
parts that have to work together flawlessly at high speeds, 
all while pulling relatively delicate fibre strings through 
convoluted paths...  hmm.
