A honeycomb structure particularly useful for window coverings is made by simultaneously knitting or weaving a front sheet, a rear sheet and a plurality of webs therebetween. A warp knitting process is used to make the front sheet and rear sheet. At least one warp thread from one sheet is threaded through the opposite sheet to form the webs. Preferably, a wood, metal, textile or plastic slat is placed on each web.
