The Making of Silk Threads
by
Thread Making Process
A bundle of yarn goes through the thread making process to be finally wound into a spindle. The yarns are classified by their number of parts. A single yarn is made from a cluster of filament or staple fibers twisted together. A yarn consists of numerous strands of material twisted together. Each bundle of yarn consists of 1400 strands, with a length of 74 meter each. These short fibers are spun into longer filaments to make the yarn. These spun yarns are used during the process of weaving to form warps and wefts.
