Arachne believed her weaving skills to be as good as Athena's. Athena heard about this and came down to challenge Arachne to a contest to see who could weave the better blanket/tapestry/piece of fabric.

She doesn't really dislike Athena. When Aphrodite won the beauty contest on Mt Ida, Hera and Athena were furious because they had not won. But Aphrodite was proud and happy.
