Knit and woven fabric

Knit fabric is made by interlocking loops of yarn in a way that allows for stretch. It’s in some ways like a bunch of small loops that tie into one another. That is this flexibility that makes knit fabric bend and stretch so easily. In contrast, woven fabric is created by interlacing threads at right angles that weave over and under each other like a crisscross pattern. As a result, woven fabric is usually stiffer, and it holds its shape more than knit fabric does. 

Knit fabric is one of the best because it is so comfortable to wear! As it stretches, cotton knit fabric can mold to the contours of your body, which makes it great for clothing you wear when you’re moving around, such as sports clothing or pajamas. This makes it easy for you to use your body with ease, and is extremely useful in sports or workouts.  

The Advantages of Knit Fabric for Comfort and Stretch

Now, let me talk about woven fabric. Woven textiles are particularly suited to garments that need to maintain their structure, such as jackets, dresses and skirts. Woven fabric typically retains its shape better than knit fabric when worn (so this is a clean and crisp look). That’s why woven fabric are commonly used in more dressy apparel.   

Woven fabric is available in a multitude of weights and textures as well. That means cotton knit material can be thick or thin, rough or smooth depending on your needs. So cool, airy woven substances, for example, are ideal for summer dresses and blouses, as they feel cooler to wear when it’s hot outdoors. Heavier woven types are perfect for creating coats and jackets to wear in winter.
