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).
How do you clean your croscill drapes?
Unfortunately, the best way to clean them is to take them to the dry cleaners. Especially if you have some of the woven fabrics and darker prints. This should prevent shrinkage and the colors fading onto the lining. I have washed most of my drapes with lighter prints on the gentle cycle in cold water and then re-hung them to dry. I would not recommend putting them in the dryer. Some fabrics may have no signs of shrinkage but I wouldn't want to take the chance.

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.

Washing by hands might be the best way to clean the fabrics. Take the fabrics to a fabric store they might have some ideas about to treat these fabrics.
