Woven or Knit
The difference between woven and knit fabric
is the way the threads are put together. \\bven
fabrics are made of two thread systems, warp
lengthwise and weft crosswise, that intersect at
I right angles. A knit fabric is made of one thread
system with interlaced stitches. A knit fabric usu
