Table Summary for Differences between Knitting and Weaving

Differences between Knitting and Weaving:

Parameters	Knitting	Weaving
Method of Construction	Converting yarn into fabric by interloping of yarns	Converting yarn into fabric by interlacement of warp & weft
Converting yarn into fabric by interlacement of warp & weft	Capital investment is less as compared to Weaving	The capital investment is higher than knitting
Machine Set Up Time	Setting up a machine is easy and faster	Not easy as compared with knitting
Productivity	High Productivity	Less Productivity
Design Modification	Styles and designs can be changed easily and faster	Design modification is difficult as compared to in knitting
Elasticity	Good elasticity as compared to woven fabrics	Crease resistance is lower than knitted fabrics
Ironing	Ironing not required (crease resistance is high)	Requires ironing (crease resistance is low)
Permeability to Air	More permeability to air	Less permeability to air
Strength of the Fabric	Less stronger fabrics than woven fabrics	Stronger fabrics than knitted fabrics
Feel of the Fabric	Feel of the fabric is soft	More rigid as compared to knitted fabrics

Difference between Hydrophilic & Hydrophobic fiber?

Difference between Hydrophilic & Hydrophobic fiber: Hydrophilic Hydrophobic The fibers which is absorb water is known as Hydrophobic fibers. The fibers which is not absorb water is known as Hydrophobic fibers. Most of natural fibers are Hydrophilic fiber. Most of man-made fibers are Hydrophilic fiber. These are less sustainable. These are more sustainable. This types of fibers attract moisture of the body. This types of fibers repel moisture of the body. This types of fibers are more comfortable than Hydrophobic fibers. This types of fibers are less comfortable than Hydrophilic fibers. These fibers has low intermolecular force. These fibers has high intermolecular force.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMBED AND CARDED YARNS?

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMBED AND CARDED YARNS: Combing and carding are two ways to prepare the raw fiber for spinning. In order to make yarn, the raw fibers need to be fluffed up and aligned prior to spinning. -Carding creates a slightly fuzzier yarn as not as many of the fibers are aligned. -Combing creates a smoother yarn as the fibers are more aligned. Combing is the more expensive process as you have higher waste involved than with carding.

What is Textile? or Definition of Textile

TEXTILE: A textile was originally a woven fabric but the terms textile and plural textiles are now also applied to fibers, filaments and yarn natural and manufacturing and most products for which these are a principle raw materials. Garments
