The term cloth generally refers to woven fabric that is formed with a warp and the weft, threads running side to side and up to down. Knitted fabric is formed by a series of interlocking loops and it is more flexible or stretches more than woven fabric.

Why you take woven fabric by length and knitted fabric by weight?

Woven fabric tends to have a fairly stable size, so you can measure it by length. Knitted fabrics tend to be very stretchy, so when you cut them they shrink in on themselves or they can be stretched during the cutting to give you less fabric than you thought you were getting. However, in most fabric stores, you will purchase both woven and knitted fabrics by the yard (length).
