Introduction

• Wearing an outfit turns out to be a pleasant
  experience when it is made with good quality
  fabrics. Knitted fabrics and woven fabrics are
  highly being used in the current industry ranging
  from clothes to cushion covers and from curtains
  to bed sheets.
• In this presentation, we shall have a look on the
  major differences between knitted fabrics and
  woven fabrics.

What is Knitted Fabric?

• Fabric that is made up of a single yarn, looped
  continuously to produce a braided look forms a
  knitted fabric. It can be easily assembled into
  smaller pieces and this makes it ideal for
  producing socks and hats.
• The chief raw materials used for knit fabrics are
  silk, linen, cotton, wool, viscose and rayon.
  Knitted fabrics suppliers add different synthetic
  materials to build the best combination of their
  knit quality and durability.

What is Woven Fabric?

• Textile formed by weaving is called woven fabric.
  They are usually produced on a loom and are
  composed of several threads woven on a warp and a
  weft. Woven fabric can also be defined as any
  fabric formed by interlacing two or more threads
  at right angles to one another.
• Broadcloth, denim, drill, poplin, cotton sateen,
  flannelette, lawn, corduroy etc. are the major
  examples of woven fabrics.

Knitted Fabrics Vs. Woven Fabrics

• Now let us have a look on the major differences
  between knitted fabrics and woven fabrics
• Manufacturing Knitted fabrics are produced by a
  set of connected loops from a series of yarns
  whereas a woven fabric is produced by interlacing
  two types of threads. Usually, knitted fabrics
  are thin and woven fabrics are thick in size.
  With the increase in demand for fabrics, the
  number of reliable woven knitted fabrics
  suppliers is also on the rise.

Knitted Fabrics Vs. Woven Fabrics

• Look Knit fabric is made out of a single yarn
  that is looped continuously to produce a braided
  look. But woven fabric contains multiple yarns
  that are weaved in such a way that they create a
  criss-cross pattern.
• Stretch Another way to recognize between the
  woven and knit fabric is by stretching them. A
  knit fabric will quickly stretch along with its
  width whereas a woven fabric will not stretch
  through its width and only stretch slightly along
  its length.

Knitted Fabrics Vs. Woven Fabrics

• Wrinkle Resistance Knitted fabrics and woven
  fabrics behave differently with wrinkle
  resistance. Knit fabric can be easily pressed,
  but it will regain its shape after some time.
  While woven fabric, on being pressed gets
  wrinkled and does not regain its shape easily.
• Cost Woven fabrics are costlier than knitted
  fabrics since they are made up of multiple yarns.

Knitted Fabrics Vs. Woven Fabrics

• Durability Knitted fabrics offer excellent
  strength and flexibility and hence they are more
  durable than woven fabrics.
• Breathability This is another feature to be
  considered while distinguishing both knitted and
  woven fabrics. Knit fabrics are usually cool and
  highly breathable. While woven fabrics are
  generally thick and unbreathable.
