Question

What is the difference between fibre and yarn?

Answer 1

Hint: Yarn is a long continuous length of interlocked fibres, which is used for the production of textiles, sewing, crocheting, knitting, weaving, embroidery, or ropemaking. Thread is a type of yarn that is meant for sewing either by hand or by machine. Yarn can be made from natural or from synthetic fibres.

Complete answer:
Many types of yarn are made differently. There are two main types of yarn which are spun and filament.
The differences between fibre and yarn are listed below.

fibre	Yarn
fibres are flexible fabrics which is a basic raw material that comprises a network of natural or artificial fibres which are manufactured by weaving together cotton, jute, nylon, silk, wool or other threads.	Yarns are the continuous, short, and staple fibre strands. These materials differ in size and structure and form a suitable textile cloth for knitting, weaving or otherwise intertwining.
Knitting and weaving are the two traditional methods used for the production of fabric.	Both natural and synthetic fibres can be made from yarn.

The most common plant fibre is cotton, which can be spun into fine yarn for mechanical weaving or knitting into cloth.
Natural fibres tend to require more careful handling than synthetics because they can shrink, stain, shed, fade, stretch, wrinkle, or be eaten by moths more readily, unless special treatments such as mercerization or super washing are performed to strengthen, fix colour, or to enhance the fibre's properties.

Note: Yarns combining synthetic and natural fibres inherits the properties of each parent, according to the proportional composition. Synthetics are added to lower the cost, increase durability, add unusual colour or visual effects, provide machine washability and stain resistance, reduce heat retention or lighten garment weight.
