Knitting: Knitting is a method in which fabrics are produced by set of connected loops from a single series of yarn in weft or warp direction.
knit fabric is made
by the longitudinal and vertical repetition of the same element, the loop, which is the basic element of
the fabric.

The loop :The loop is a
length of yarn that is forced to assume a curvilinear shape. It can be
divided into three main sections:

knit fabrics can be
divided into two types:
1. Weft knit fabric
2. Warp knit fabric
Weft knit fabric:
In weft knits the interloop links two
consecutive loops placed horizontally; when one loop breaks, the entire fabric
can be undone simply by pulling the free end of the yarn.

Warp knit fabric: In warp
knits the yarn is knitted vertically or
diagonally and loops are formed
Accordingly; to knit the fabric, it is necessary to use many
threads simultaneously, allowing the
loops formed by the different threads to bind together.
Warp knit fabric
In this case, the knit fabric is run-proof . Therefore, the
warp knit fabrics are also called “nonrun“
or “ladder-proof “.From a physical point of view, a fabric
can be described as a flexible structure, made up by the vertical and
horizontal repetition of two elements: the course and the wale.The word
“course” defines a row of horizontal loops, belonging or not to the same yarn;
“wale”means a row of loops laid vertically one upon the other.
