In weaving, two distinct sets of

weft (older woof), are interlaced with each other on a loom to form a fabric or cloth. The warp threads run lengthways of the piece of cloth, and the weft runs across from side to side. Woven cloth can be plain (in one color or a simple pattern), or it can be woven in decorative or artistic designs, including tapestries

Crochet is a process of creating fabric from yarn or thread using a crochet hook. The word is derived from the Middle French word croc or croche, meaning hook. Crocheting, similar to knitting, consists of pulling loops of yarn through other loops. Crochet differs from knitting in that only one loop is active at one time (the sole exception being Tunisian crochet), and that a crochet hook is used instead of knitting needles.
