Best Answer

Warp yarns are threaded on the loom and form the long-ways fibers. Weft yarns are woven in and out of the warp yarns side-to-side during the weaving process. The weft yarns tend to be the fluffier, larger, or more decorative yarns in the project, but this isn't always true.

Weft knitting is when you have the threads going from right to left {remember it as weft to wright} and warp is when the fabrics are going up and down so a weft knitted fabric is a fabric that has been knitted with the threads going from right to left.

What is weft in textiles mean?

Weft refers to the threads that run horizontally across the fabric during the weaving process. It is interlaced with the warp threads, which run vertically, to create the fabric structure. The weft threads are inserted over and under the warp threads to create different patterns and textures in the fabric.


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. 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.
