    • all fibres, whether they are staple or filament ,must be made into yarns before they can be woven or knitted into fabrics. yarns are essenially long,continuous strands made up of fibres twisted together.
      • continuouse filament yans are made by lightly twisting filamnet fibres together
        • blending is acieved by spinn9ng 2 or more fibres together to make a yarn. This enables a fabric to be made which will be better suited to the product. (like modern fabrics)
    • if a filament fibre is to be blended with a staple fibre,the long filaments need to be cut into staple before being spun into yarn.
