I believe the answer is:

aragon

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'knitwear found in spain?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'depart wearing particular type' is the wordplay.
'depart' becomes 'go' (synonyms).
'wearing' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'particular type' becomes 'aran' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'go' placed inside 'aran' is 'ARAGON'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aragon that I've seen before include "Origin of Queen" , "French poet" , "Former Spanish kingdom" , "NE Spanish region" , "Whence Catherine" .)
