What is the relationship between fibers yarns and fabric?
A fibre can be a thin thread from either natural or synthetic sources, such as a seed hair from a cotton boll. Fibres are usually spun together to make continuous strands, which may be further combined by twisting. This is called a yarn. Yarns can be knitted, crocheted or woven into flat sheets which are called fabrics. However the terms are often used more loosely.
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

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 name of the individual fibers?
The individual fibers in textiles are often referred to as "filaments" or "staple fibers." Filaments are long continuous strands, typically found in synthetic materials, while staple fibers are shorter lengths, commonly used in natural fibers like cotton and wool. Together, these fibers are spun into yarns, which are then woven or knitted to create fabric.

What is ring yarns?
Ring spun yarn is a type of yarn that is achieved by constantly twisting a rope of cotton fibers. This process significantly strengthens the yarn.
