Spinning and Weaving

Spinning is the process of transforming raw fibers, like wool or cotton, into yarn or thread by twisting them together. It involves drawing out the fibers and twisting them to create a continuous strand that is strong and suitable for weaving. Weaving then is the technique of interlacing two sets of yarns, the warp (lengthwise) and the weft (crosswise), on a loom to produce fabric. Essentially, spinning creates the material, and weaving assembles the material into a structured textile. Both processes are fundamental to textile creation and have been used for thousands of years.
