A textile or cloth
is a flexible material consisting of a network of natural or artificial fibres often referred to as thread or yarn.

Knitting
is a method by which thread or yarn may be turned into cloth or other fine crafts. Knitting consists of consecutive loops, called stitches. As each row progresses, a new loop is pulled through an existing loop. The active stitches are held on a needle until another loop can be passed through them. This process eventually results in a final product, often a garment.
-
Crochet
