Woven fabric is any textile formed by weaving.

 Woven fabrics are often created on a loom, and made of many threads woven on a warp and a weft.

Woven fabric is any fabric made by interlacing two or more threads at right angles to one another.

The woven fabric only stretches diagonally on the bias directions (between the warp and weft directions), unless the threads used are elastic.

The woven cloth usually frays at the edges, unless techniques are used to counter it, such as the use of pinking shears or hemming.

Fabrics that are woven do not stretch as easily as knitted fabrics, which can make them advantageous for many uses.

Much variety is produced by weaving. They can be easily cut into different shapes and are excellent for producing styles in garments.

Fabrics having more fabric count (number of wrap and weft yearns present) keep the shape well. Low count fabrics are less durable and may snag or stretch.

Woven fabrics are manufactured in different widths depending on the end use.
