How are fibers related to yarns?
No, but apples do.
How would you define a textiles?
textile - originally, a woven fabric; now applied generally to any one of the following: (1) staple fibers and filaments suitable for conversion to or use as yarns, or for the Preparation of woven, knit, of nonwoven fabrics. (2) yarns made from natural or manufactured fibers. (3) fabrics and other manufactured products made with fibers as defined above from yarns. (4) garments and other articles fabricated from fibers, yarns, or fabrics when products retain the characteristics flexibility and drape of the original fabrics.this definition from the Academy of Textiles and Flooring Floorcovering Dictionary
Are all natural fibers spun yarns?
No
What is spun yarn?
There are two basic techniques for spinning wool: woolen and worsted. In woolen spinning, the fibers are oriented perpendicular to the yarn being made, while in worsted spinning the fibers are oriented parallel to the yarn being made. Woolen fibers are carded, creating a fuzzier, softer yarn. Worsted fibers are combed creating a smoother, harder yarn. Woolen yarns are generally preferred by knitters while worsted yarns are generally preferred by weavers.
What is the relationship between fibers yarns and fabric?
Fibers are the basic units used to make yarns, which are long, continuous strands of interlocked fibers. Yarns are then used to create fabric through processes like weaving or knitting. In essence, fibers are the building blocks of yarns, and yarns are the building blocks of fabric.
What are the differences between cheap and expensive knitting yarns?
The more expensive a ball or knitting yarn is, the better quality it is. A more expensive yarn is made of natural fibers. These yarns stand up to wear and tear a lot better than their cheaper counterparts.
What is melange fleece?
Melange is a property of yarn (thread) being used to make a specific fabric, either knitted (for example fleece, jersey or pique) or woven (for example linen, shirting etc). Yarns having this property are made of dyed fibers i.e. fibers are dyed in various colors, mixed and then twisted into yarns. Any fabrics made of such yarns are melange fabrics, either woven or knitted. Therefore, any fleece made of melange yarn(s) is a melange fleece. Common examples are knitted hood shirts available in "Heather Grey" color.
Is yarn man made or natural?
Yarn can be both man-made and natural. Natural yarn is made from fibers derived from plants (like cotton and linen) or animals (such as wool and alpaca). Man-made yarn, on the other hand, is produced from synthetic fibers like polyester or nylon, which are manufactured through chemical processes. There are also blended yarns that combine both natural and synthetic fibers.
Why does yarn burn?
Yarn is made from fibers, which are flammable materials. When exposed to heat or flame, these fibers start to burn and produce fire. Additionally, some yarns may also contain synthetic materials that can further contribute to the flammability of the yarn.
What are the various steps involved in fabric making?
The fabric-making process involves several key steps: Fiber Production: This can be natural (plant or animal fibers) or synthetic (man-made fibers). Spinning: Raw fibers are spun into yarn by twisting and stretching them. Weaving or Knitting: The yarn is transformed into fabric through weaving (interlacing yarns) or knitting (interlooping yarns). Finishing: The fabric undergoes various treatments, such as dyeing, printing, or adding textures, to enhance its appearance and functionality.
