The standard warp yarn is paired with a skeleton or 'doup' yarn; these twisted warp yarns grip tightly to the weft which causes the durability of the fabr

4. Crochet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crochet

   Crochet hooks used for Tunisian crochet are elongated and have a stopper at the end of the handle, while double-ended crochet hooks have a hook on both ends of the handle. Tunisian crochet hooks are shaped without a fat thumb grip and thus can hold many loops on the hook at a time without stretching some to different heights than others (Solovan).

8. Twined knitting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twined_knitting

   The twist and ply direction of the yarn influences the properties of the knitted fabric. S-twisted and Z-plied yarns become excessively twisted when knitting in this technique, complicating the untwisting of the two strands of yarn. The excessive twist can cause the right side of the fabric to develop a horizontally ridged surface.

The twist direction of yarn can affect the final properties of the fabric, and combined use of the two twist directions can nullify skewing in knitted fabric. [20] The mechanical integrity of yarn is derived from frictional contacts between its composing ...
