Fibre To Fabric

(i) Woolen shawl and silk sarees are made of animal-fiber because woolen fiber is obtained from the hair of sheep, goat, and rabbits and silk fiber is obtained from the silkworm.

(ii) And Nylon scarf is made of nylon fiber which is obtained from chemicals.

(iii) So jute bag is the only one which is made of plant-fiber because jute fiber is obtained from the stem of jute plant.

Because In India, jute is mainly grown in West Bengal, Bihar, and Assam. And it is true that use of charkha was popularized by Mahatma Gandhi as a part of the independence movements. And to make fabric, the fibers are first converted into yarns. And Sufi saint Kabir was a poet and weaver. So statements (a), (c) and (d) are true and (b) is incorrect.

In ancient times, people did not know how to weave. And at that time, there was not a newspaper and metal foils. So in ancient times, people used leaves of trees, animal skins, and furs for making clothes.

Cotton fiber is obtained from cotton plants. Jute fibre is obtained from stem of jute plant. And flax fiber is also obtained from flax plant. So cotton, jute and flax are natural fibres. But Nylon fibre is obtained from chemicals. So nylon is a synthetic fibre.

**Imporant Information**- The fibres which are not obtained from plants and animals are called synthetic fibres.

Husk and bones are not used for making fibres. Substances in options (a), (b) and (d) are used for making fibres.

Silk fibre is smooth to touch, has vibrant colour and shine. Cotton is light and less smooth. Wool is fluffy and jute is rough.

Jute fibre is obtained from stem of jute plant.

The weaving of yarn to make fabrics is done by using ‘looms’. Loom is a device used for making fabrics by weaving yarn. Charkha and spinning machines are used for making yarn from fibres. And Knitting is a other process of making fabrics by using knitting needles.

Because cotton fibres is obtained from the cotton plants and cotton crop is usually grown at places which having black soil and warm climate. So Beera should grow cotton plant in this field.

Fibres are first converted into yarn by the process of spinning. And after this fabric is made from yarn by the process of weaving or knitting.

Charkha is a hand device which is used to make yarn from the fibre. Powerloom and Handloom are the devices which used to make fabrics from yarn. And knitting needles are also used for making fabrics from yarn by knitting process. So Boojho will use charkha for making yarn from the fibre.

Fabric of cotton saree is made by weaving cotton yarn which in turn is made by spinning thin cotton fibre.

Fibres are first converted into yarn by the process of spinning. And after this fabric is made from yarn by the process of weaving or knitting.

The correct form is given below:

(a) Cotton

(b) Spinning

(b) Weaving

(d) Fibres

(a) False

Silk is animal fiber which is obtained from the silkworm.

(b) False

Jute is obtained from the stem of jute plant.

(c) True

Weaving is a process of making fabrics from yarn by arranging two sets of yarn on the looms.

(d) True

The teacher has asked the question that “Classify the following fibres as natural and synthetic”.

The piece which shrinks on burning with a candle then the fabric is silk and the other fabric is cotton because the cotton fabric does not shrink on burning.

The other process of making fabric from yarn is Knitting. In knitting process, the fabrics are made by interlocking loops of single yarn with knitting needles or machines. Socks and many other clothing items are made of knitted fabrics

It is difficult to pass a thread through the eye of a needle because the end of the thread may be separated into a few strands or the thread may be thick.

Saree, dhoti, dupatta, and towel are the examples of such clothes.

Saree, dhoti, dupatta, and towel are the clothes without stitching.

(a)- (ii) Wool.

Sweater is made of wool by knitting process.

(b) -(iii) Ginning.

From cotton bolls, cotton is usually picked by hand. And then cotton fibres are separated from the seeds by combing. This process is called ginning of cotton.

(c)- (i) Cotton.

Dhoti is made of cotton fibres by weaving process with the help of looms.

(d)-(iv) Jute

Gunny bag is made up of jute.

My parents, cotton plants were grown in black Soil and warm Climate. The plants bore fruits called cotton bolls. I, the cotton fibre was separated from seeds in the cotton bolls by the process of ginning. Other cotton fibers and myself were made into yarn by the process of spinning. The yarn was dyed to give beautiful colours and then woven to get cotton fabric.

(a)-(v)

Weaving is a process of making fabrics from yarns by

(b)-(i)

Knitting is the other process of making fabric from yarn. In knitting, a single yarn is used to make a piece of fabric.

(c)-(vi)

Spinning is the process of making yarns from fibres.

(d)-(ii)

Ginning is the process of separating cotton fibres from seeds by combing. It is done by hand as well as machines.

(e)-(iii)

Yarns are made from thin strands. These thin strands are fibres.

(f)-(iv)

Fibers are first converted into yarn by the process of spinning. And after this fabric is made from yarn by the process of weaving or knitting.

The useful items which are made from jute fibres are:

The cotton shirt can be prepared by following steps:

i. The making of the cotton shirt is a long process. From cotton bolls, cotton is usually picked up from the plants in the fields by hand.

ii. And then fibers are separated from the seeds by combing. This process is called ginning.

iii. After this, the fibers of cotton are drawn out and twisted it then this brings the fibers together and a long thread is formed called yarn. This process is called spinning.

iv. And then in weaving process, cotton fabric is made by arranging two sets of cotton yarns. The weaving process is done on looms.

v. Now on sewing this cotton fabric by needle on sewing machine we get the cotton shirt.

The two main processes of making fabric from yarn are weaving and knitting.

In weaving process, the two sets of yarns are woven at a right angle to make fabric. The weaving of fabric is done on looms. The looms are either hand operated or power operated.

**Important**: The weaving process is shown here:

In knitting process, the fabrics are made by interlocking loops of single yarn with knitting needles or machines. Socks and many other clothing items are made of knitted fabrics.
