It is claimed that woven fabrics are dimensionally stable why does the structure provide this physical property?

Because of the interaction of the tension in the vertical and horizontal fibers (warp and weft), the fabric produced is much less likely to stretch than for example a knitted or crocheted fabric.

You can easily tell how a t-shirt will stretch much more than the fabric of the pants.

However, once dried, it usually returns to its original shape, although repeated stretching may cause some permanent deformation over time. Always handle wet cotton gently to avoid damage.

Cotton thread is compatible with fabric made from yarn of plant origin, such as cotton and linen, and for rayon (made from a plant substance), because it has similar shrinkage characteristics. It is not suitable for most synthetics, which do not shrink, or for fabrics treated to reduce shrinkage. Its low stretch is useful for woven fabrics, but not for knits, which require more stretch.
