The difference between knitted and woven

To understand the difference between the two, you should understand the basic process of the two. Knitted fabric is a kind of fabric formed by bending the yarn into loops in sequence, and then the loops are interlocked with each other. According to the different directions of coil weaving, it can be classified. The horizontal one is called weft knitted fabric, and the vertical one is called warp knitted fabric. The woven fabric is a fabric formed by vertically interweaving two or more sets of vertical yarns through a shuttle machine. The yarns in different directions can be divided into different types, the horizontal ones are called weft yarns, and the vertical ones are called warp yarns. The basic unit of a knitted fabric is the loop, while the basic unit of a woven fabric is the weave point where the warp and weft yarns intersect.

Next, we should talk about the different characteristics of knitting and weaving. The knitted fabric is formed by hole-shaped loops, which has better air permeability, more uniform extension in all directions, better elasticity and softer hand feeling. The height and width of the coil can be converted between each other, so its extensibility is better. In addition, the knitted fabric is more comfortable to wear on the body, does not feel restrained and tight, and can fully reflect the curvaceous beauty of the human body. Woven fabrics are relatively light, the relationship between weft extension and shrinkage is small, and no conversion occurs, so the extensibility is relatively poor. This fabric is generally denser, harder, and not as soft as knitted. Woven fabrics are more durable and wear-resistant, and are produced in large quantities in clothing and other aspects.

The difference between knitted fabrics and woven fabrics

Knitted and woven fabrics are significantly different, with obvious differences in manufacturing process methods and fabric characteristics, and each has different uses. I believe the above introduction can help us understand knitted and woven fabrics.
