What is the difference?
- 1Tools: Wove requires a loom or other weaving equipment, while knit requires knitting needles or a knitting machine.
- 2Process: Wove involves interlacing threads in a perpendicular direction, while knit involves interlocking loops of yarn in a horizontal direction.
- 3Materials: Wove typically uses longer fibers like cotton, wool, or silk, while knit uses shorter fibers like yarn or thread.
- 4Flexibility: Wove creates a stiffer fabric that holds its shape, while knit creates a stretchy fabric that conforms to the body.
- 5Versatility: Knit can be used to create a wider range of items, including clothing, accessories, and home decor, while wove is primarily used for creating fabric.
Remember this!
Wove and knit are both techniques for creating fabric or items from fibers. However, the difference between wove and knit is their tools, process, materials, flexibility, and versatility. Wove requires a loom and creates a stiffer fabric, while knit requires knitting needles and creates a stretchy fabric. Knit is also more versatile and can be used to create a wider range of items.
