Thank you for explaining non-wovens so well, never heard a high-level overview before and the context will help me organize my fabric stash SO much more effectively!
ooh yay! I'm glad that was helpful!! Thanks for watching!
Hi Kelly! Great job explaining all these terms. I look forward to the next one on wovens! Two questions: 1-what makes a stable knit, stable? 2- You showed a plaid, sheer knit, but the closeup - I swear this looks woven! Is it really a knit? Especially, too, since actual plaid (not a printed plaid) knits are fairly uncommon. Can you tell me more about this piece of fabric?
Hi Elizabeth! Thank you so much! To answer your questions, 1) I will admit, I don't have a clear answer for this one. As far as I know, stable knits will have little or no stretch due to a number of factors - knit pattern, how tightly it's knitted, fiber content, etc. and I haven't been able to find a clear answer on this question either. But, I am going to keep searching and will make a dedicated short video about this if I can determine anything more conclusive. And, 2) if you're talking about the fabric shown around the 4:51 mark, it is a knit! It really does look like a woven from a distance, but if you look close at the structure of the fabric, you can see the little loops that make up the knit pattern. I don't have a ton of details on the origin of the fabric, as it was a donation a few years ago that I purchased from the shop, but it is a really cool fabric! If I remember correctly, burn testing indicated that it is 100% cotton.
Thanks so much for watching!

Thanks Kelly!
Thanks for watching!!
Thank you for this information! I am wondering, is the fabric for the shirt you are wearing in this video an open knit, or a weave? I was also noticing the baskets in the back illustrating that over/under woven structure 😂.
The cardigan I'm wearing is a knit! If you look close, you can see that the yarns are fairly thick and there's a V shape to the pattern. Those factors together indicate that the garment was knitted with a standard knit stitch! Thanks for watching! ❤
Excellent explanation!
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching ♥
great video. You were clear and articulate.
