Question 6 Explain the process of making yarn from fibre.

Answer: Yarn is a kind of long twisted thread. Yarn is made from fibres by the process of spinning. In the process of spinning ,fibres from a mass of cotton are drawn out and twisted. This brings the tiny fibres together to form long and twisted threads called yarn. Spinning converts fibres into yarn. Hold a lump of cotton fibres in the left hand. Now, start pulling out cotton fibres gently with the thumb and forefinger of right hand while twisting the cotton fibres continuously. We will get a cotton yarn.
