Knitted fabricKnitted fabric is a textile that results from knitting, the process of inter-looping of yarns or inter-meshing of loops. Its properties are distinct from woven fabric in that it is more flexible and can be more readily constructed into smaller pieces, making it ideal for socks and hats. There are two basic varieties of knit fabric: weft-knit and warp-knit fabric. Warp-knitted fabrics such as tricot and milanese are resistant to runs, and are commonly used in lingerie. Weft-knit fabrics are easier to make and more common.
Double clothDouble cloth or double weave (also doublecloth, double-cloth, doubleweave) is a kind of woven textile in which two or more sets of warps and one or more sets of weft or filling yarns are interconnected to form a two-layered cloth. The movement of threads between the layers allows complex patterns and surface textures to be created.

Le ruban est un tissu étroit, employé comme lien, bordure, ornement dans le vêtement, la parure ou l'ameublement. La rubanerie est l'industrie et le commerce du ruban. Le ruban se distingue de l'étoffe par l'existence d'une lisière visible. Le ruban englobe, outre le beau ruban de mode, le ruban de décoration, les étiquettes textiles et écussons, les sangles et autres rubans techniques, le ruban élastique pour lingerie, la passementerie d'ameublement, le tissu à usage médical.
