Mixture of ink and water in Jersey and Guernsey, say (8)

I believe the answer is:

knitwear

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

'jersey and guernsey say' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'mixture of ink and water' is the wordplay.
'mixture of' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'ink' after 'water' is 'waterink'.
'waterink' anagrammed gives 'KNITWEAR'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for knitwear that I've seen before include "Woollies" , "Cardigans, jerseys, etc" , "Jersey etc ..." , "Garments made of wool" , "Jumper" .)
