Organic cotton is the material that fabric will be made of. The fabric will be created by either weaving or knitting the cotton.
Cotton can be knitted (like a t-shirt) or woven (like denim).
Some main types of woven and kitted fabrics are wool, cotton, thread, garment cotton and polyester.
is lycra woven kitted or bonded
Gingham is a woven fabric. It is usually woven of white and another color thread.
The example of woven fibers is the tea bag

Nylon is a material that can be manufactured into woven OR knitted fabric. For example, pantyhose are manufactured from kintted nylon. On the other hand, many windbreakers are manufactured from woven nylon.
It is woven through a force-spinning process using threaded natural plant fibers then knitted artificially through an insulated process involving synthetic glass fibers.
Calico is a woven fabric. It is made from cotton that is unbleached. This unbleached cotton usually has not been treated much. This means that the fabric has little black specks of seed and is quite stiff. Washing the fabric will soften it, remove the seeds and also cause the fabric to shrink quite a bit.
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. Take the difference between a cotton tee-shirt and a pair of cotton pants. The t-shirt is a knitted fabric and most likely cotton pants will be woven. You can easily tell how a t-shirt will stretch much more than the fabric of the pants.
spandex is actually a flexible yarn that can be used in woven as well as in knitted fabrics to increase the elasticity fo fabric but there is no fabric as such that has 100% spandex in it,as its just a 1-10% of actual composition.
A "knit" fabric will stretch, either side to side and/or up to down, but a "woven" fabric will not stretch.
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).
