Which fabric type is made by the process that continuously loops and knots a single long thread and has more give than woven fabrics?

• A. Woven
• B. Knits
• C. Leather
• D. Nonwoven

Answer: (B)

Knits are made by continuously looping and interlocking a single long thread into a fabric. That looping creates a flexible, interconnected structure, which allows more stretch and give than woven fabrics, where two sets of yarns are interlaced at right angles and are generally less stretchy. Leather comes from animal hide processed through tanning, not by looping a thread, and nonwoven fabrics are made by bonding or felting fibers rather than forming loops from one continuous thread.
