Looms.
they are fabrics, which are not woven. that's about all.
firm, no tear (holds shape) paintable, white, small quantity.
No. The only fabrics that are fire resistant are fabrics that are marked fire resistant. Whether the fabric is woven or a knit has nothing to do with the fire resistance.
Less comfortable
If you're referring to temperature and breathability, woven is not necessarily cooler than knit. The breathability depends more on the type of fiber (natural fabrics versus synthetic fabrics), and less on how it is constructed (woven fabrics versus knit fabrics).Fabrics that are "cool" and breathable are:linencotton (especially seersucker)rayonlightweight woolsilkThese are all natural fabrics, and can be either woven or knit. For example, a cotton shirt could be woven (such as a button-down shirt), or knit (such as a t-shirt).And if by "cool" you mean trendy or attractive....well, that's up to you. Both woven and knit come in cool prints and colors. :)
Examples of woven fabrics are muslins, poplin, and taffeta.
