Warp Knit vs Circular Knit

Definition

Warp knitting produces fabric where yarns run vertically (warp direction), creating stable, non-run fabrics ideal for sportswear. Circular knitting produces fabric in a tube with yarns running horizontally (weft direction), offering more stretch and softer drape โ€” standard for t-shirts and leggings.
