Knitting
21 of 30
What has the characteristics: elasticity, insulation, drape and crease resistance?
Knitting
22 of 30
What knitting is this: hand knitting and some machine knitting. One yarn source - loops interlock horizontally. Can ladder. Knit to shape of garment?
Weft knitting
23 of 30
What knitting is this: machine knitting. Multiple yarn sources - loops interlock vertically. Can be quite firm. Quicker to make than woven fabric. Knitted as fabric sheets and then garment shapes cut out. Fabric edges need to be overlocked so no fray
