Answer 3

The "fibers" twisted & spun together with particular twist & specific method, can be a usual definition of Yarn.

Now these "fibers" can be of many kind. These are classified into many categories.

Natural Fibers Cotton, Jute, Silk etc.

Synthetic Fibers Bamboo, Modal, Acetate, Viscose, Rayon, etc.

Animal Fibers from sheep, Rabit, Camel, Cashmere, Llama,

Manmade Fibers Polyester, etc.

Similarly, there are lot of fibers and similarly many kinds of yarns can be produced from these fibers.

Say, if there are 10 fibers, then tentatively we can produce more than 100 types of yarns from them. Because different fibers can be mixed together to produce mixed blend yarn.

And there are many different types of "Spinnings" as well. Ring spun, AutoCoro, Wet spun, Jet spun, etc.

So lets guess, if there are 5 fibers, then we can produce more than 50 types of yarns.

And if we have 50 different types of yarns, then we can produce more than 500 different kinds of fabrics from them (Knitted & Woven).

Answer 4

All yarn is made of fiber. The type of fiber, and how it is spun, determine the type of yarn. For examle, yarn spun from the fiber produced by sheep is called wool. Yarn spun from fibers in the stalks of flax plants is called linen.

Answer 5

Yarn is a continuous strand of twisted threads of natural or synthetic material, such as cotton, wool or nylon, used in weaving, crocheting or knitting.

I personally crochet and like working with Caron Simply Soft or Bernat Satin yarns. They are both acrylic and are washable and easy to use.

Hope this answers your question.
