The difference between knitted fabrics and woven fabrics Knitted fabrics and woven fabrics have their own unique characteristics in terms of processing technology, fabric structure, fabric characteristics, and use of finished products due to different weaving methods. Here are some comparisons.
(1) The composition of the fabric structure: (1) Knitted fabric: the yarn is sequentially bent into loops, and the loops are intertwined to form a fabric, and the process of forming loops by the yarns can be carried out horizontally or vertically. It is weft-knitted fabric, and longitudinal knitting is called warp-knitted fabric. (2) Woven fabric: It is made of two or more sets of mutually perpendicular yarns interlaced with warp and weft at a 90 degree angle. The longitudinal yarns are called warp yarns, and the horizontal yarns are called weft yarns.
(2) The basic unit of fabric organization: (1) Knitted fabric: The loop is the smallest basic unit of knitted fabric, and the loop is composed of the loop stem and the extension line in a space curve. (2) Woven fabric: Every intersection point between warp and weft is called the organization point, which is the smallest basic unit of woven fabric.
