Okai! Actually I’m always quite confused between these 2 fabrics.
So ahem here is a really short post about what I have learnt.
1· Rows of stitches in knitting are looped parallel to each other, weaving involves threads interlaced perpendicularly.
2· Knitted products are more elastic and bulkier. Woven products have more flow and much thinner.
3· Knitting requires smaller materials, like knitting needles. Weaving involves a bigger and heavier piece of equipment the loom.
4· Knitting is more practiced as a hobby and a social activity than weaving
So the above picture is obviously a knitted fabric because the stitches are interlooped, and they appear to be more stretchy.
The picture aboe is a woven fabric. The threads are perpendicular to each other, making it less stretchy.
Okai, that’s all! Oh, and socks are knitted and school uniforms should be woven 🙂
