Then the evaporation of solvent solidifies and the filament is obtained. Acetate, triacetate, acrylic, modacrylic, spandex, PBI and vinyon etc can be spun through the dry spinning technique. In the melt spinning system, the polymer is melted and passes through the spinneret. When cooled that gets solidified and collected by take up the wheel. Polyethelyne terepthelet, Nylon, olefin, saran fiber etc are produced by melt spinning technique. Polyester and Nylon 6 are produced in a high volume with this technique.
Depending upon the spinneret head, filaments may have different shapes like circular, trilobal, pentagonal, octagonal etc. Trilobal form gives the fabric a sparkling shine as it can reflect more light. Pentagonal and hollow fibers are used in carpets and rugs because they are dirt and soil resistant. Glitter free effects are offered by octagonal shaped filament yarns. Spinning is the first process where the yarns are made by the insertion of twist in fibers.
Then the yarns are used to weave fabrics that finally, are used in making apparel or garments. Salma Hasin Shila, the author of this site completed her BSc. She has a passion for textile technology and loves to write about it.

It is a small, portable, hand-cranked wheel, is ideal for spinning cotton and other fine, short-staple fibres, though it can be used to spin other fibres as well. A loom is used to organize and hold the yarns of a woven project. Two sets of yarn are interlocked in the weaving process- the yarn used to keep the structure of the woven piece and the yarn used to decorate.
A set of yarn is vertically wrapped around the loom and it remains in place during the entire weaving process. It gives the structure to the woven project. It is called the warp. The warp is later removed off the loom when the woven project is finished.
The second set of yarns run horizontally in between the warp yarns. These yarns are called the weft. The weft yarns are used to form patterns with colours, shapes, and textures.

There are three other systems of spinning artificial fibers: wet, dry, and gel spinning.
The first thread, known as the warp , is wound longitudinally. The lateral thread, known as the weft , is then filled into the warp following a predefined pattern to create a weave. Unlike spinning, which requires a spindle or wheel, weaving is nearly always executed using some type of loom. This is another difference between spinning and weaving — the tools of the trade. The loom holds warp thread as the weaver fills in the weft, often with a shuttle.
Looms have evolved a lot, although traditional methods vary by region and culture. Many early looms were vertical, with threads hanging from trees or other structures.
Many cultures then developed sitting, standing or floor looms from there. Today many looms are advanced. Hand-operated looms are often floor or table looms and come in different sizes.
The most recent digital looms have revolutionized weaving entirely. However, the fundamental weaving technique has not changed. If you are just starting and would like to weave by hand, a lap or sitting loom is one of the cheapest and easiest looms available to practice weaving small pieces of fabric. Spinning is a technique that began several thousand years ago. So the short answer is, yes, you can spin your yarn by hand or on a simple spinning wheel you can use at home.
And the best part about it is, being able to adjust your grist and twist. As you get the hang of things, you can upgrade to more specialized spindles. You are less likely to invest a couple of hundred dollars on a spinning wheel as a beginner. For a smooth learning curve, go for wool. It is simpler to spin, easier to hand dye, affordable, and easily available.
Cotton and flax are among the easiest fibers, to begin with too. However, any natural fiber can be spun by hand. Fiber is the raw material from plants or animals such as wool from sheep or cotton. It can also refer to synthesized filaments of polymers. Raw fiber undergoes a multi-step production process which may include washing, combing, and carding if it is made from animal fibers until it is turned into roving. Roving is then spun into longer, continuous strands of thread — making yarn.
Yarn is then sold in skeins, balls, or cones. A fabric is the finished product when you weave or knit thread or yarn. It is often the final product sold in rolls to be used for making clothes, drapes, and upholstery. Neither is better than the other.
While spinning is technically necessary so that you have yarn or thread to weave or knit, crochet, etc. Weaving is a great skill, too, as it is enjoyable for many and the strongest way to create fabric from yarn compared to hand-knitted, felted, or crocheted articles. It is an indispensable part of the creation of basically anything from clothes to nets, hats, blankets, shoes, belts, carpets, towels, placemats, rugs, and the list is endless.
