How is yarn made?
Yarn is a long, continuous thread made of natural or synthetic fibres.
Fiber is a threadlike strand that is used for spinning yarn. Yarns are further spun into fabric.
A piece of fabric is a material made after weaving, knitting, spreading, or crocheting thin strands of threads (known as fiber) for the production of the garment.
The process of making yarn from fibres is called spinning. In this process, a mass of cotton wool is drawn out and twisted. This brings the fibres together to form yarn.
A spinning wheel can be used for this purpose. It is a device for spinning thread or yarn from fibres.
The above image shows a spinning wheel.
The two main processes involved in making fabrics from yarns are knitting and weaving.
• Weaving is a process of interlacing two different sets of yarns together to make a fabric. Looms are used for weaving, operated either by hand or using electricity.
• Knitting is a process where a fabric can be made from a single yarn. It can be done by hand or using machines. A knitted fabric contains multiple loops of yarn called stitches.
