A fabric made of yarn is essentially a textile, which forms the backbone of the clothing and fashion industry. Yarn, created by spinning raw fibers into a continuous thread, can be woven, knitted, or non-woven to create various types of fabrics. Natural fibers like cotton, wool, silk, and linen, as well as synthetic fibers such as polyester, nylon, and acrylic, are commonly used. Woven fabrics are produced by interlacing two sets of yarns at right angles, while knitted fabrics are formed by interlocking loops of yarn in one direction. Non-woven fabrics are bonded through mechanical, thermal, or chemical processes without weaving or knitting. The choice of yarn type, fiber content, and manufacturing process significantly impacts the fabric's properties, such as durability, drape, comfort, and appearance. Understanding these aspects helps in selecting the right fabric for specific applications, from clothing and home textiles to industrial uses.
