Definitions for "Wovens"
Refers to fabrics that are formed with warp and filling yarns which are interwoven together to form the fabric. Wovens generally have a tighter more rigid construction than knits and are susceptible to seam puckering. The length of the fabric is referred to as the "warp", the width is referred to as the "fill", and any angle across the fabric is referred to as the "bias". On most woven fabrics, the "warp" direction of the fabric has the least amount of stretch. (See Thread Application Guide, Wovens.)
