Warp knitting | Weft knitting

Warp Knitting: In a warp knitted structure each loop in the horizontal direction in mach from different thread and the no. of threads used to produce such a fabric is at least  equal to the number of loop in horizontal now. 

It may be say that in a warp knitted fabric the threads run thoroughly in a vertical direction.

Weft knitting: In a weft knitted structure a horizontal row of loops can be made using one thread and the thread runs in horizontal direction.  

Knitting | classification of knitting |

Knitted fabric defers vastly from woven fabrics. Woven fabric is formed substantially by interlacing of a seems of length wise and cross wise threads. Knitting in its simplest form Consist in forming loops though those previously formed.

Knitting: Knitting is the method of creating fabric by transforming continuous strands of yarn into a series of interlocking loops, each row of such loops hanging from the one immediately preceding it. The basic element of a knit fabric structure is the loop intermeshed with the loop adjacent to it on both sides and above below.
