Are fibers made from yarn?
Yarn are made from fibres.
Conversion of staple fiber into yarn is called?
Individual fibers are spun into yarn.
What does a wool spinner do?
He/she takes the raw fibers , after they are cleaned, and spins the fibers into yarn.
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 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.
What does a wet yarn look like through a microscope?
Like a dry yarn but depending on the yarn material and what is wetting the yarn, the fibers could be more spread out or pulled together tighter. The wetting agent may have the same index of refraction as the fibers and in that case the yarn would almost disappear leaving mostly impurities in the field of view.
Why is it necessary to spin the fibers in order to make yarn?
When fibers are spun, they form a coherent whole. It keeps them together.
What is the difference between carded yarn and combed yarn?
Carding partially aligns the fibers and forms them into a thin web that is brought together as a soft, very weak rope of fibers called a carded sliver. Carding is when short wire teeth remove trash and neps (entangled clumps of short, underdeveloped fibers). Combing is used if long-staple fibers are to be spun. It produces a yarn that is superior to a carded yarn in smoothness, fineness, evenness, and strength. Combing aligns fibers in a parallel arrangement & also removes short fibers so fibers in the combed sliver will be more uniform in length.
What is the process of drawing fibers and winding them together to make yarn?
Spinning
When fibers are grouped and twisted together they are called yarn?
Generally, yes.
Is yarn a type of fiber?
Yarn is made of fibers either twisted together, extruded, reeled or otherwise formed into a long strand. Many different fibers might be used to make yarn. The most popular is wool from sheep, but the hair of alpacas, llamas, rabbits, goats, camels, buffalo, and even dogs and cats can be spun into yarn. Other animal fibers include silk from the silkworm and even from milk. Cellulose (plant) fibers, such as cotton, linen, hemp, bamboo, and even corn, soy, seaweed and wood pulp can be made into yarns. Artificial fibers like acrylic can also be used to make yarn.
