What are textiles?
In short, textiles are of two types:
1- Woven: involves weaving a set of longer yarns (weft) with a set of cross-section yarns (warp). This is done by a machine called a knitting machine that has different types. Some still do weaving by hand, but a large amount of this is done by machine. Yarn weaving and crocheting involves weaving a loop of yarn that is formed either by thread yarn or crochet hook in a line.
2- Non-woven: It is said that textiles are not made of warp and weft and are formed by a mass of fibers that are intertwined and sunk in different ways. Non-woven textiles are a group of textiles that are not woven (not woven) or knotted, for example felt.
