wovens
Cloth from looms
Wovens are fabrics made by interlacing threads at right angles, as opposed to knits, which loop yarn together.
In retail and fashion contexts, the term distinguishes structured garments like dress shirts and trousers from stretchy knitted items: The collection features both wovens and knits.
The word also appears in textile manufacturing and interior design for upholstery and drapery fabrics.
