Spinning and weaving are two steps in the production of textiles. The most basic difference between them is their process and purpose. Here are some differences listed below.
| Spinning | Weaving |
| Spinning is focused on creating yarns or threads, which are later used in other processes such as weaving or knitting. | Weaving is the art of layering yarns or threads in a crosswise pattern to create continuous lengths of fabric, including patterned weaves and ribbons. |
| Spinning is the process of making thread out of raw fibres. | Weaving is the process of taking threads and making them into cloth. |
| India has world-class production in spinning. | Weaving supplies low-quality fabric as it cannot use much of the high-quality yarn produced in the country. |
| Different spinning methods are available in making yarns, including ring-spun, rotor-spun, twistless, wrap-spun and core-spun yarns. | Some examples of plain weave fabrics are crepe, taffeta, organdy and muslin. |
