Knits

Knits are fabrics made by one or more threads disposed in a complex interlocking pattern — threads are drawn through previously formed loops and themselves form new loops.

Knits stretch in all directions. This contrasts with woven cloth, which only stretches across the bias.

Woven: A woven is a cloth formed by weaving. It only stretches in the bias directions (between the warp and weft directions), unless the threads are elastic. Woven cloth usually frays at the edges, unless measures are taken to counter this, such as the use of pinking shears or hemming....

Bias: :For other senses of this word, see bias (disambiguation)....
