Here's how I care for the things I have been knitting. Knitting consists of loops called stitches pulled through each other.
In plying, two or more yarns are spun together, almost always in the opposite sense from which they were spun individually; for example, two Z-twist yarns are usually plied with an S-twist. In fact the oldest patterns of lace knitting were made by the fisherman, and they are very strong can not be ripped. Hand-knitting has gone into and out of fashion many times in the last two centuries, and at the turn of the 21st century it is enjoying a revival.
The thread used in weaving is usually much finer than the yarn used in knitting, which can make the knitted fabric bulkier and have less drape than a woven fabric. Flat knitting is usually used to knit flat pieces like scarves, blankets, afghans, and the backs and fronts of sweaters. You can opt to learn from an individual locally, but this can cost quite a bit of time and money.
