A.VERIFIED ANSWERfact-checked by tutors
Spinning is the process of making yarn from fibres. During spinning, fibres such as cotton, wool, or silk are drawn out and twisted together to form a continuous thread called yarn.
The twisting of fibres helps them hold together firmly and increases the strength of the yarn. Spinning can be done using traditional tools such as the spindle and charkha, or with modern spinning machines used in textile factories.
Once the yarn is produced, it can be used to make fabrics through weaving or knitting.
