Question

In what way is knitting different from weaving?

Answer 1

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.hope it helps you if you are looking for this kind of answer.  :)

Answer 2

Answer:

1) Strands of yarn are arranged in vertical and horizontal rows in a loom to weave fabric .

2) Two sets of yarn arranged together to make fabric is called weaving.

3) Wool can be knit easily because it has a natural bend or crimp on it.

4) By making knots with loops and rings of a long thread of yarn, woollen fabrics are knitted.

5) In addition to handmade process of knitting, handlooms and power looms are also used on which woollen yarn is yarn is woven to fabric.

6) Woollen threads are stretched from the top of loom to the bottom. These are called wrap threads. The threads that go side to side are weft threads.

7) A shuttle like a big needle takes the weft threads over and under warp threads.One more important part of the loom is the harness.

8) The harness lifts every other warm thread so that the weft threads go over one and under the next. All types of yarn whether cotton or silk or wool etc. are woven in this manner.
