Fiber is the basic fundamental unit from which a textile material is used and it is also known as the basic unit of a yarn which is characterized by flexibility, fineness, cohesiveness and a high ratio of length to thickness .There are two types of fibers staple and filament fibers. Some fibers are natural like cotton, silk and wool.

Yarns are made by twisting of fibers different types of yarns are made by twisting in different ways.
Staple fibers made staple yarns and filament fibers made filament yarns.

The process of making of staple yarns from staple fiber is first the cleaning of yarn is done and is straightened. Then the twisting of yarns is done which is called as mechanical spinning

The process of making of filament yarns from filament fibers. The process that is used for this is chemical process in which a spinning solution of raw material is made and the yarns are passed through the holes of a spinnerets .Then a solid thread like form is made which is called as filament yarns.


Now the yarns are made, then the process of making of fabric starts. There are many types of process that is used for making of fabric from yarn in which some are weaving and knitting
