Yarn is made by spinning raw fibers (such as cotton, wool, silk, synthetic fibers, etc.) into thin, long threads. The spinning process usually includes the following steps:

Preparing the fibers: First, the raw fiber (such as cotton, wool, hemp or synthetic fibers) is cleaned, combed and loosened to make the fibers parallel, remove impurities, and form fiber bundles. The specific operation of this process varies for different raw materials.

Carding: In this stage, the fibers are processed through a carding machine to comb the uneven and disordered fibers into a thin, parallel fiber web. This process helps the fibers become more uniform and removes residual impurities.

Twisting: The combed fiber bundles are stretched and twisted through a spinning machine. This is a key step in the spinning process. The fibers are spun into thin yarns by rotation or stretching, and the yarns are made stronger and more elastic by twisting. Different types of yarns (such as single yarn, double yarn, coarse yarn, fine yarn, etc.) can be obtained depending on the way and degree of twisting.

Twist Adjustment: The twist of the yarn is adjusted according to the required strength and application. Higher twist makes the yarn stronger, while lower twist makes the yarn softer.

Winding: After the yarn is spun into a thin long thread, it is usually wound into a coil for subsequent weaving or knitting.

Post-processing: Sometimes, in order to add special properties to the yarn, the yarn may be post-processed, such as dyeing, bleaching, or applying chemical treatments to improve the color, durability or other characteristics of the yarn.

Through these steps, the raw fiber is processed into the final yarn, which can be used for a variety of purposes such as weaving cloth, knitting clothing, making carpets, etc.
