  1. Woven fabrics by Fabric Warehouse Whether one buys fabrics for dresses or for upholstery and furnishing, there are key differences in the way they are manufactured. One way is to knit a fabric and the other is to weave it.

  2. Take a look at the way the fabrics are made. Woven fabrics by Fabric Warehouse are made using two sets of yarn with threads interleaved across each other.

  3. One of the chief distinguishing characteristic of knits is that such fabrics are very elastic and stretch easily. At the same time, when released, they regain their original size and shape, showing a higher recovery characteristic.

  4. Knits permit easy air flow and will cling to body contours which make them the first choice for dresses and T shirts that need no ironing.

  5. One can easily find out if a fabric is knit or woven by inspecting the edges. Knits are usually sold in the form of a flat fabric or a tube with the length-wise edges bearing some glue to prevent curling.

  6. Woven cloth can be easy to sew on normal sewing machines but knits will need stretch stitches in the form of zigzags.Wovens may require serging at the seams to prevent unraveling while knits do not need seams to be finished.

  7. While knit fabrics mold better to the body and provide a comfortable fit they are not suited for pleats and sharp corners because of the looseness of knitting, an area in which wovens shine.
