Question

_________is the twisting together of strands of fibers.

• A. Combing
• B. Spinning
• C. Weaving
• D. Knitting

Hint:

Spinning = Twisting fibers into yarn; Weaving/Knitting = Making fabric from yarn.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Spinning is the method of twisting fibers together to create yarn or thread. This process transforms loose fibers, such as cotton, wool, or synthetics, into a continuous strand ready for weaving or knitting into textiles.
The primary goals of spinning are:

To enhance fiber strength through twisting.
To prepare fibers for subsequent processes like weaving or knitting.

Clarification of Alternative Processes:

(A) Combing: This process aligns fibers and removes short fibers and impurities.
(C) Weaving: This involves interlacing two sets of yarn to produce fabric.
(D) Knitting: This technique forms fabric by interlooping yarns.
Therefore, Spinning is the correct procedure for twisting fibers into yarn.
