What are the four main types of fabric?

The four primary textile materials classified by source are cotton, linen, silk, and wool. Classified by construction, they are woven, knitted, non-woven, and braided fabrics.

What is the difference between knitted and woven fabrics?

Knitted fabrics are formed by interlocking loops of yarn providing stretch and breathability, while woven fabrics interlace two perpendicular threads at right angles to create structural strength and minimal stretch.
