Most of the shirts are made up of woven fabric and most of the t-shirts are made up of knitted fabric. The woven structure is made up of two sets of yarn warp and weft yarns.
These weft and warp yarns are moved in a certain fashion. The structure looks like the one up and one down, the movement of the yarn is just like a zigzag, if you try to pull out these structures from one of the ends with sufficient force you can take out of these yarns very easily from this structure. Also, if you try to straighten these fabrics crimps or curliness will just become straight. If you give force this type of fabric, the extensibility is not that significant maximum up to 20 to 30% you can extend these types of woven structures. It has a limited amount of transmission compared to the knit structure.
Knitted structure made up of loop which is very easy to deform, when you try to give any force, it will try to extend very easily, because the loops will try to open up because of that its more stretchable, more flexible. It can conform 3d structure easily
Differents between Woven and Knit Structure
| Woven | Knit |
|---|---|
| Limited stretch | More stretchable |
| Rigid, Poor drape | Flexible, Easy confirmable |
| Tight structure | Open structure |
| Poor transmission | Good transmission |
| Extension up to 20% | Extension up to 300% |
| Woven Structure | Knit Structure |
