Two different types of knitting methods are warp and weft knitting. In weft knitting, the movement of the yarn is from left to right which is along the weft direction or fabric width direction. In the case of warp knitting, the movement of yarn is along the length direction which is similar to the warp direction in the woven fabric. Depending on the movement of yarn, we differentiate these two fabric structures, warp knitting, and weft knitting. The loops are quite stable in weft knitting but the loop structure in the warp knitting is completely different because of the nature of intermeshing.

In warp knitting structures, the loop’s architecture is slightly disturbed because all the loops are not standing vertical or symmetric just like in weft knitting. A warp knitting loop is either tilted right or left and each loop is intermeshed top loop and bottom loop
