What is the difference between woven fabrics and knitted fabrics?

Woven fabrics and knitted fabrics differ significantly in many aspects:

Fabric structure: Woven fabrics are made of warp and weft interwoven to form a cross-shaped structure; knitted fabrics are composed of continuously knotted coils, which are connected to form fabrics.

Fabric features: Woven fabrics have a crisp texture, are not easy to deform, and have good wrinkle resistance and dimensional stability; knitted fabrics have a soft texture, good breathability, and elasticity, and can adapt to the movement and deformation of the human body.

Purpose: Woven fabrics are often used to make formal clothing, such as suits, shirts, etc.; knitted fabrics are more suitable for making casual, close-fitting clothing, such as sweatshirts, T-shirts, etc.

In summary, woven fabrics and knitted fabrics have their advantages in structure, characteristics, and uses, and the choice should be based on actual needs.
