HISTORY OF KNITTING
 WHAT IS KNITTING?
Knitting is the construction of the
elastic, porous fabric, created by
interlocking yarns by means of
needles. Knitted fabrics can be made
much more quickly and easily than
woven fabrics at comparatively less
cost. Two yarns forming loops in each
course of the fabric knit the fabric
 THE CLASSIFICATION OF KNITTING
WARP KNITTING AND WEFT KNITTING
 WARP KNITTING

WARP KNITTING- Is the process of making a fabric by

forming the loops in a vertical or warp-wise direction; the
yarn is prepared as a warp on beams with one or more yarns
for each needle.

WEFT KNITTING-is the most common type of knitting,

it is the process of making a fabric by forming a series of
connected loops in a horizontal or filling-wise direction;
produced on both flat and circular knitting machines.
