Woven and knitted fabrics are created through the process of weaving or knitting. The process may be done by hand or on an industrial scale with the use of automated machines. Some woven fabrics are only stretchable along the weave bias. Others have a lot of give and were created for that exact purpose.

Woven and knitted fabrics are used in all sorts of applications. Most of the time they are utilised for clothing and home furnishing. The clothing industry is one of the major consumers of woven fabrics. Occasionally woven fabrics may also be used in speciality applications like textured wall papers and fashion accessories. The use of woven fabrics greatly depends on the tightness of the weave and the material used. Fabrics using wool or yarn are ideal for use in cold weather clothing. Light fabrics with a very tight weave may be rendered waterproof, thus making them ideal for sports and outdoor activities. Pinking or hemming the edges of a woven or knitted fabric is the best way to keep it from unravelling.
