Compare knitting and weaving by completing the table. Hints Knitting Weaving (i) Can we use hand tools? (ii) Can we use machines? (iii) Can we work with different kinds of yarn? (iv) Do we use a single yarn? (v) Do we use more than one yarn? (vi) If we pull one yarn out, will the fabric unravel?

KNITTING WEAVING 1. In knitting, hand tools like needles are used. 1. Weaving is done on looms, which can be hand operated or power operated. 2. Machines can be used for knitting. 2. Machines can be used in weaving. 3.Yarns of different kinds can be used in knitting. 3. Yarns of different kinds are used to weaving. 4. Yes, we can use a single yarn in knitting. 4. Yes, single yarn can be used in weaving. 5. Yes, more than one yarn can be used in knitting. 5. For weaving too more than one yarn can be used. 6. A knitted fabric will unravel when the yarn is pulled as a knitted fabric is created from a single strand of yarn being pulled through loops in that strand. 6. In weaving, the fabric doesn't unravel as the woven fabric is created by crossing a strand between different strands.

Removing fleece from sheep is called shearing. After shearing the wool is cleaned and combed with a machine, thereafter the wool is spun into fibres that are then, knitted to make woollen clothes either by hand or machine.

Match the words of Column I with those given in Column II. Column I Column II (i) Scouring (a) Yields silk fibres (ii) Mulberry leaves (b) Wool yielding animal (iii) Yak (c) Food of silkworm (iv) Cocoon (d) Reeling (e) Cleaning sheared skin

The sheared skin from sheep is cleaned by the process of scouring. Mulberry leaves are given as food for silkworm and will give the best silk. Yak is an animal that will give wool, which is used to make warm clothes. Silk is obtained from the cocoons of silkworm. Column I Column II (i) Scouring (e) Cleaning sheared skin (ii) Mulberry leaves (c) Food of silkworm (iii) Yak (b) Wool yielding animal (iv) Cocoon (a) Yields silk fibre

Weaving is a method used to make fabric from yarn. It is the process involving the alternative overlapping of sets of yarn together resulting in the production of fabric.
