Which term refers to the material formed by weaving or knitting yarns?

• A. Textile
• B. Fabric
• C. Material
• D. Fiber

Answer: (B)

The material formed when yarns are woven or knitted is fabric. Weaving creates a flat fabric by interlacing warp and weft yarns, while knitting forms fabric by looping yarns together to make a stretchy sheet. This finished sheet is what you typically cut and sew for clothing or other projects. Textile is a broader term that includes fabrics as well as yarns and fibers, so it’s more general than the specific material produced by interlacing yarns. Fiber is the basic raw material that fibers are made from, before they’re spun into yarn or woven/knit into fabric.
