Indwangu knitted iyimpahla eyenziwe ngezihibe ezihlanganayo zentambo. Ingakhiqizwa ngomshini noma ngamasu okuluka ngesandla futhi ngokuvamile isetshenziselwa ukwenza izingubo zokugqoka. Izindwangu ezilukiwe zinezakhiwo eziyingqayizivele ezihlukile ezindwangu ezilukiwe, ezenziwe kusetshenziswa ama-looms kunezinaliti.

Inqubo yokuluka i-greige ihilela ukusebenzisa imishini eminingana ekhethekile ukuze udale ukuthungwa okufunayo kanye nephethini kwendwangu. Okokuqala, uchungechunge olukhulu lwentambo lufakwa ocingweni lwe-elekthronikhi olubizwa ngokuthi i-warper, olulungisa imicu ukuze iluke ndawonye ibe imicu emibili ebizwa ngokuthi "i-warp ends." Lezi ziphetho ze-warp zibe sezifakwa ekupholiseni kwensimbi ku-loom, lapho zenza khona iwebhu ehlangene ebizwa ngokuthi "ukugcwalisa" noma "umhlabathi ohlangene," okwenza ungqimba oluyisisekelo lwendwangu elukiwe. Uma lesi sendlalelo sesiqediwe, izingqimba ezengeziwe ezihlanganisa imibala ehlukene zingangezwa kuze kube yilapho umklamo oyifunayo ufinyelelwa. Ekugcineni, lezi zingqimba zihlanganiswa ndawonye ezindaweni ezihlukahlukene ngobude bazo ngemithungo ebizwa ngokuthi ama-selvedges, bese ziyasikwa ukuze kukhiqizwe umkhiqizo osuphelile, olungele ukusetshenzwa, njengokudaya noma ukunyathelisa uma kudingekile.

Umehluko phakathi kwezindwangu ezilukiwe nezilukiwe ikakhulukazi endleleni ezakhiwe ngayo. Izindwangu ezilukiwe zibandakanya amaqembu emicu eqondile ephothene, kuyilapho izindwangu ezilukiwe ziqukethe izihibe ezihlangene zibheke kolunye uhlangothi (okuthiwa "izitishi zesitoko"). Lokhu kusho ukuthi ngokuvamile kunemininingwane emincane uma kuqhathaniswa namaphethini alukiwe, njengoba asikho isidingo se-weave eyinkimbinkimbi efana ne-tapestry noma i-quilt - esikhundleni salokho, imithungo ivele idlulele komunye nomunye, yakhe amabhlogo aqinile, kunokuba ibe nokuthungwa kwe- iphethini yendabuko. Indwangu ephothiwe enephethini eyinkimbinkimbi yemininingwane eminingi emincane.
