Knitted or woven? — Weavers · The Makers

At the invented Loomfield market, weaver Marta shows two ways… The Makers of Our World game on MyLeoNes for ages 7–17; invented stories, crafts learned safely.

Your task

Sort each card.

• Woven cloth has two sets of threads at right angles (warp and weft), so it is firm and stretches little. Knitted cloth is made of loops, so it stretches easily.
• Invented guild stories to learn from. Never try fire, hot metal, glass, blades or power tools on your own: crafts like these are learned with a trained adult.
• Every craft came from many people in many places. Nothing about you is collected.

Score

• Craft knowledge — You understood how this craft works.
• Making it well — You put the steps in a sensible order and used the right tools.
• Care for people & planet — You kept people safe and used materials wisely.

In real life

T-shirts are usually made of knitted cotton jersey, while jeans are made of woven denim. Both can be made from the same fibre: what changes is the structure.

The guild stories are invented, to learn from. Fire, heat, blades and tools are only for trained adults: learn these crafts with a trained adult, never at home. Nothing about you is collected; progress stays on this device.
