Is Warp Woven or Knit?

Warp knits
Warp knit fabric is similar to that of a woven fabric in that yarns are supplied from warp beams. The fabric is produced, however, by intermeshing loops in the knitting elements rather than interlacing warps and wefts as in a weaving machine. Warp knitted fabric is knitted at a constant continuous width.

How do you know if its woven or knit?

Look at the threads. If you look closely at the fabric, you should see the individual threads that make it up. If the threads appear to have loops, then it's knit; if the threads have a perpendicular criss-cross pattern, it's woven.

Is lace warp or weft knit?

Types. Warp knitting comprises several types of knitted fabrics. All warp-knit fabrics are resistant to runs and relatively easy to sew. Raschel lace (a common type of machine made lace) is a warp knit fabric but using many more guide-bars (12+) than the usual machines which mostly have three or four bars.
