Process of making Fabric from Fibre:

  • Ginning: cotton fibres are separated from their seeds by the process called ginning. These days, a machine called ‘roller gin’ is for ginning. A roller gin has steel pins fixed on two rollers which act as combs. When cotton is passed through a gin, the seeds are combed out and they get collected in a separate vessel.
  • Spinning: It is the process of changing fibre in to yarn. Hand spindle or takli and charkha are two hand operated devices used for spinning. Large scale spinning is done on a spinning machine.
  • Weaving: It is the process to convert yarn into cloth. The process of arranging two sets of yarns together to make a fabric with the help of a handloom or powerloom is called weaving. Weavers weaving on a small scale, use handlooms while on a large scale, cotton fabrics are made by big machines that run on electricity. These machines are called power - looms. First power - loom was designed in 1784 by Edmund Cartwright.
  • Knitting: In knitting, a single yarn is used to make a piece of fabric. It can be done by hands using knitting needles. Nowadays, most of the knitting is done with the help of machines. Different types of needles are used for knitting.
