Types of Knitting:

There are two types of knitting

a. Warp Knitting.
b. Weft Knitting.

Warp Knitting:
In warp knitting, one or two yarn produce vertical column of loops and fabric is produced in
length way. Each loop in the horizontal direction is made from a different thread and the no
of threads used to produce such a fabric is at least equal to the number of loops in horizontal
raw. e.g. – Net, Mesh fabric etc
