Punch-configured textiles go all the way back to the 1700s! The 1804 Jacquard Loom, which used cards, was a big part of the Industrial Revolution and influenced Babbage's Difference Engine and Analytical Engine, both of which use punchcards.

Worth noting that weaving and knitting are two different production processes.

[Beijinger]

You forgot one, that has no separate English name and will also be translated to knitting. "Wirken".

Also:

Kettenwirken = warp knitting

Kulierwirken oder Flachwirken = weft knitting

Rundstricken = circular knitting

Flachstricken = flat knitting

Yes and no. The both involve implementing a sequence of instructions to perform mechanical motions on fiber to form textiles. It might be moving frames to open the shed for weaving, or it might be opening hooks to chain for knitting. The fiber used and the properties of the produced textile may have different properties and the machinery may differ in detail but the processes are essentially identical.
