Knitting is a method of fabric formation in the textile industry where yarns are interlooped to create a flexible, stretchable textile structure. Unlike weaving, which interlaces yarns at right angles, knitting forms fabrics through a series of interconnected loops, making it ideal for garments that require elasticity and comfort, such as t-shirts, socks, and sportswear. Knitting can be done by hand or with machines, and it is categorized primarily into weft knitting and warp knitting, each offering distinct fabric properties. This process allows for rapid production, design versatility, and minimal material waste, making it a preferred choice for both fashion and functional apparel applications in the modern textile landscape.
