Weaving: two sets of yarn at right angles — warp (vertical) and weft (horizontal) — interlace on a loom. Produces firm, non-stretchy fabric. Used for sarees, shirts, sheets.
Knitting: a single yarn is looped through itself. Stretchy, warm, traps air. Used for sweaters, socks, T-shirts.
Pull a small piece of each fabric: woven stays rigid; knit stretches.
Example
A cotton shirt — woven. Your T-shirt — often knit (has stretch). A winter sweater — knit.
💡 Tip:If you see rows of 'V' patterns → knit. If crossing at right angles → woven.
