Weaving is when threads cross over-under on a loom to make fabric, knitting is loops linking together. Here in Bhiwandi, our power looms are for weaving, mostly plain saris and shirting—Tirupur's circular machines knit T-shirts. GSM is grams per square meter; buyers always ask for it.
But I tell you, the real difference is the sound. Weaving is a steady, shaking thunder in my shed. Knitting machines, I hear, have a softer click. This noise is what puts rice on my plate, so I know it well.
