Solution

Spinning : It is a process in which the fibres are converted to yarn.Yarn are used for subsequent processes such as weaving,knitting etc.Various types of cleaning (in case of natural fibres) are done here.
In spinning process these cotton ball is converted to yarn via following process.

1.Plucking - Cotton ball are plucked from the cotton plant.

2.Ginning- Cotton ball that are plucked are separated from the seeds in these process . The seed is inside the cotton ball just like any other fruit. After separation they are packed in suitable manners known as bales and are transported for subsequent process.

3.Blowroom - In these process the cotton fibres are opened and cleaned thoroughly.Opening is done because it will give us more surface area so as cleaning can be done to more extent.Opening is done with the help of various kind of beaters ,blades etc.and also it is done in subsequent machines.The final layout is Sheet of fibres.

4.Carding- Also known as heart of spinning.Here complete indiviuastion of fibres takes place.Due to these we have maximum cleaning in these process and the sheet of fibres is converted to sliver which is a 10000 times thicker version of yarn.

5.Draw Frame & Speed Frame - In these process the fibre stretching is done so as to thin down the sliver . It is done with help of pair of rollars rotating at different speed.The final product if these wuld be roving which almost 100 times thicker than yarn

6.Ring Spinning Machine- These is the final machine in spinning where the roving is converted to yarn as shown in the picture below.Here in these machine twist is also imparted so as to give yarn the given strength.
