1. This is the simplest weave - the weft yarn passes over one then underneath one warp yarn at a time. It produces strong - durable fabric for a variety of clothing and furnishing needs.
Warp yarn
Main types of knitting
Plain weave
Heat Fusion
2. Is transparent. Exquisite decorative fabric. Can be made from a variety of different fibres (eg. wool - cotton - silk). Can shrink - tears easily.
