1.Definition
|
The fabric forming process by interlacement of warp threads.
|
The fabric forming process by intermeshing of loops.
|
2.Elasticity
|
Very less or no elasticity.
|
The fabric shows high amount of stretch and elasticity due to loop structure.
|
3.Dimentional stability
|
Good dimensional stability which causes less shrinkage.
|
Less dimensional stability
|
4.Durability
|
More durable
|
Less durable than woven Fabrics.
|
5.Moisture absorption
| The fabric absorbs less moisture |
The knitted fabrics absorb more moisture because of their loose construction.
|
6.Slacking and low sening
|
The fabric provides good stability due to intersecting of yarns at right angle.
|
It creates problem after wearing for along time.
|
7.Air permeability
|
Air is less permeable due to compact construction woven fabric.
|
Air permeability is more due to voluminous structure of knitted fabric.
|
8.Crease
|
woven fabrics are more inclined to crease .So ironing and iron retention are better knitted fabric.
|
Knitted fabrics are more resistant to crease. So it requires no ironing.
|
9.Production cost
|
Production cost is more due to warp preparation and desizing process
|
Production cost is less due to modest manufacturing process.
|
10.Yarn
|
TPI of yarn is comparatively higher than knitting yarn.
|
TPI of yarn is comparatively lower than woven fabric.
