Difference between yarn and fibre

Open in App

Solution

Fibre: a thread or filament from which textile is formed.

Yarn: spun thread used for knitting, weaving, or sewing.

Fabric: cloth produced by weaving or knitting textile fibres.

So the process of making a fabric starts from procuring the fibre from plants/animals first. After the procurement, these fibres are twisted together to make yarns. These yarns are used on a weaving machine then to create a fabric.
