Yes, woven fabric can block the wind, and it's even more effective than knitted fabric. Whether woven fabric fades depends on its colorfastness.
Regarding the windproof performance of woven fabric: Due to its high density and numerous interlacing points, woven fabric has a relatively tight structure and is not as porous as knitted fabric. This structural characteristic gives woven fabric better warmth retention in winter, meaning it doesn't let in wind. Therefore, woven fabric is much more effective at blocking the wind than knitted fabric.
