Answer:
HELLO!!!..
1. weaving and knitting
Knitting is the process wherein thread – or sometimes yarn – is made into cloth and other crafts. It consists of stitches (or loops) of the material consecutively run together. Weaving, on the other hand, is the process in which two types of yarn or threads are interlaced together to form a fabric or cloth.
2. handloom and powerloom
Handlooms are manually operated looms used for weaving in which picking and beating is done manually by human hands, whereas powerlooms are mechanized looms driven by stem engines or electric power in which shedding, picking and beating are done automatically rather than manually.
3. natural and synthetic fibres
Natural fabrics—such as cotton, silk and wool—are made of animal or plant-based fibres, while synthetics are man-made and produced entirely from chemicals to create fabrics like polyester, rayon, acrylic, and many others. Over the years these synthetic fibres have increasingly grown in popularity.
