1.	Explain the process of converting raw material into a fibrous form
Answer» Processing of a Fibre into FabricThe complete process of making or producing Fabrics from fibres includes:Extraction of fibres either from the plant or animal source.↓A group of filament or staple fibres extracted are twisted together to form a yarn.↓\xa0These yarn are twisted tightly and allowed to rotate on the different types of by the rollers, weaved and knitted by passing a different number of yarns together to produce Fabrics.Finally, the fabrics are produced. These fabrics are treated with chemicals in the textile industries to make different types of clothing materials like cotton fabrics, woollen fabrics, silk fabrics, polyester fabrics etc. Later these fabrics are processed for bleaching to give a smooth, shiny look, colour dying to add colours to the fabric materials and screen printings to design the fabrics.\xa0Process of Making Cotton FabricCotton is picked up from the fields. The seeds are separated by combing. This process is known as ginning.↓Ginned cotton is compressed to form bales. These bales are sent to the spinning mills.↓The cotton bales are loosened and cleaned. This process is known as carding.↓The cotton fibres are then converted into rope-like loose strands. The strands are twisted to make yarns. This process is known as the\xa0spinning of cotton yarns.↓The yarns are then used to make fabrics by weaving and knitting.
