Yarn, fabric and fibres are related to each other. Show the relationship by filling the blanks in the following sentence.

Fabric of cotton saree is made by weaving cotton yarn which in turn is made by spinning thin cotton fibres. 

The following steps are involved in the preparation of fabrics:
  1. Obtaining fibre: Extraction of the fibre from its source (Plant or Animal)
  2. Preparation of yarn from fibres by spinning: A group of fibres extracted are twisted together (by the process of spinning) to form Yarn.
  3. When two sets of yarn are involved, yarns are woven on looms to make a fabric. When a single yam is used, the fabric is prepared by knitting: These yarns are twisted tightly and allowed to rotate on the different types of rollers, weaved and knitted to produce Fabrics.
  4. The fabrics produced are dyed: These fabrics are treated with chemicals in the textile industries to make different types of clothing materials. Later these are processed for bleaching to give a smooth, shiny look, colour dying to add colours and design the fabrics.

Hence to summarize the steps we can write:
