Knitting is one of several ways to turn thread or yarn into cloth. Similar to crochet, knitting consists of loops pulled through other loops. Knitting differs from crochet in that multiple loops are active. The active loops are held on a knitting needle until another loop can be passed through them. Knitting has two varieties: weft knitting and warp knitting.
Weaving is an ancient textile art and craft that involves placing two sets of threads or yarn made of fiber called the warp and weft of the loom and turning them into cloth. This cloth can be plain, or it can be woven in decorative or artistic designs, including tapestries.
