Correct option is C
Knitting is the method in which a yarn is used to create a continuous chain of loops, which are interconnected to form fabric. This process can be done manually using knitting needles or with a machine. The loops formed by knitting make the fabric stretchy and flexible, making it ideal for garments like sweaters, t-shirts, and socks.
Explanation:
- Knitting involves creating fabric by forming a series of interlocking loops with yarn, which creates the stretchable, flexible nature of knitted fabrics.
- Weaving involves interlacing two sets of yarn (warp and weft) at right angles to each other, and it does not form a continuous loop like knitting.
- Felting is a process where fibers are matted together, often by applying heat, moisture, and pressure, but it does not use yarn to create loops.
Information Booster:
- Knitting can be done in two main methods: weft knitting (where loops are formed horizontally in rows) and warp knitting (where loops are formed in vertical rows). Knitting is widely used to make garments that require stretch, such as sweaters, socks, and leggings.
Additional Knowledge (Incorrect Options):
- (a) Weaving: Weaving involves interlacing yarns at right angles (warp and weft) to create fabric. It does not involve loops, so it is not the correct answer.
- (b) Felting: Felting uses heat, moisture, and pressure to mat fibers together, and it does not involve creating loops from yarn.
- (d) More than one of the above: This is incorrect because only knitting involves creating loops with yarn.
- (e) None of the above: This is incorrect because knitting is the correct answer.
