The two methods are: (A) knitting with one, yarn, called weft knitting, in which the loops run round the work and; are easily ravelled out; of such is our cheaper underwear (B) warp Knitting, somewhat like weaving, to produce which many threads are auspended on beams, and by meana of needles, loops are formed and the, thread is carried from one needle 10 another.
