What Are Knit Fabrics and How Are They Made?

Knit fabrics are textiles made from interlocking loops of yarn, giving them natural stretch, flexibility, and softness. Unlike woven fabrics, which are made by crisscrossing threads, knits are made by looping yarns together in a single direction—either by hand (like in sweaters) or by machine for apparel and other uses.

Knit fabrics are commonly made from cotton, polyester, rayon, bamboo, wool, or spandex blends, and are ideal for stretchy, comfortable garments like T-shirts, leggings, dresses, underwear, and activewear.
