Ol i save wokim ol 'woven fabrics' long rot bilong putim ol 'warp' na 'weft' 'yarns' insait long en, na dispela i save kamapim wanpela 'tight' na 'stable structure'. Dispela i givim ol gutpela samting olsem ol i no inap bruk na ol i no inap bagarap, tasol tu i save mekim ol i no gat gutpela 'natural elasticity'. Olsem, 'transverse/longitudinal elongation' bilong ol 'pure cotton' o 'polyester woven fabrics' i save liklik long 5%, em i liklik tru long 30%-50% bilong ol 'knitted fabrics'. Tasol, 'elasticity' i no zero tru:
1. Ol pasin bilong 'yarn': Sampela 'natural fibers' (olsem 'wool') o 'crimped yarns' inap long strongim liklik, tasol em i hat long go bek long 'assief' seip bilong en bihain long ol i stretim.
2. Influens bilong 'fabric density': Ol laplap we i gat liklik 'density' (olsem 'gauze') inap long kamapim liklik 'stretch' bikos i gat bikpela spes namel long ol 'yarn', tasol ol i save bagarap hariap.
