This is an old Navy term, use to be while on board ship that this was the day to mend clothing and fix your shipboard hammock with needle and thread. Today it is a few hours granted to do personal chores.

How rope is made in a rope loft?

Rope is made in a rope loft by twisting together strands of natural or synthetic fibers. The process begins with selecting and preparing the raw materials, which are then spun into yarn. The yarn is twisted together in a process called "laying," where multiple strands are combined to form a thicker rope. Finally, the rope may be finished with additional coatings or treatments to enhance durability and resistance to environmental factors.

How does a rope have to be to be called a rope?

Multiple strands. A rope must consist of more than one strand formed together in some way to provide more strength. However, if the rope is small it is may be called cord, cordage, string, or yarn as it is still not necessarily rope. If the rope is large, it is more often referred to as cable. If the rope is in use, it is more often properly called a line.

What is sport spun yarn?

I think you are asking about Sport weight yarn. Yarn can be divided into "weights" which refer to the diameter of the yarn. Yarn Council of America is attempting to standardize this system of weights (which really doesn't have to do with the actual ounces, pounds, grams or kilograms). Therefore, a Sport-weight yarn would be one that could be called "Fine" (vs a lace or superbulky yarn), or #2-sized yarn or that it generally has 23-26 stitches per 4 inches (a standard gauge length and height), horizontally. You can find more information by following the link I have attached to this answer.

Is string considered as rope?

Maybe. Technically identical to rope in most cases except its size. String, twine, cord, and yarn are typically made by laying up multiple strands to produce a "rope". However, although its construction is typically identical to rope, its small size keeps it properly referred to as cordage, string, twine, etc.
