Document Summary
Fibre: smallest component that can be removed from a fabric, manual or manufacture, hair-like in nature. Yarn: an assemblage of fibres, twisted or laid together so as to form a continuous strand which can then be formed into fabric. Fabric: a flexible planar substance made from solutions, fibres, yarns or fabrics in any combination. The difference between the three is that they are all a different part of the fabric making process, from raw materials to finished product. Fibres are combined and twisted into yarns and yarns are used to weave or knit fabric. Natural fibres animal sources (wool, silk - flat at cross section which causes lustre) plant source (cotton, grows in boll) flax (linen ) Manufactured or synthetic fibres comes from chemical solution poured through a spinneret and fabric go through the holes into air, solution or water etc.
