Question

The process of arranging two sets of yarns together to make a fabric is called:
A. weaving
B. spinning
C. knitting
D. ginning

Answer 1

Hint: Yarn is a continuous strand of textile fibers, filaments, or material in a form suitable for knitting, weaving or otherwise intertwining to form a textile fabric. Fiber is a material in the form of fine and continuous strands.

Complete step by step solution:
The basic raw materials used in the textile production are fibers, either obtained from natural sources or produced from chemical sources. Fiber can be identified by labels, hand, appearance and burn test. Fibers can be described by fiber length, texture, elasticity, luster, strength, resiliency, flammability and resistance to sunlight.
Yarn is any form of spun, twisted or extruded fiber that can be used for weaving, knitting or knotting.
Weaving is the process of producing fabric by the interlacing of warp and weft thread. Two sets of yarns or threads are interlaced at right angles to form fabric or cloth. Spinning is the major part of the textile manufacturing process where three types of fibers are converted to yarn, fabrics, finishing process such as bleaching to become textiles. Knitting is an action of manufacturing a fabric by inter looping of yarns. It is the second most method of fabric formation. Ginning is a process of separating cotton fibers from the seeds. So the process of arranging two sets of yarns together to form a fabric is called weaving.

Hence the correct option is A.

Note: The basis of making different types of cloth is weaving. Some other methods are knitting and felting. The cloth made by the processes knitting and felting are not much durable than that made by weaving. It can make clothes durable and flexible.
