Knitting<br />
A method of producing a fabric by interlocking a series of loops of yarns or filaments. There<br />

Warp Knitting<br />
A method of knitting in which the yarns or filaments run in the machine direction. This<br />
system uses large spools of yarns or filaments (warps). Three different methods of warp<br />
knitting are tricot, raschel and milanese.<br />
