Spinning techniques refer to various methods used to twist fibers into yarn or thread. These techniques can include spindle spinning, where a spindle is used to twist fibers, and wheel spinning, which employs a spinning wheel for greater efficiency. Each method can produce different textures and thicknesses of yarn, depending on the fiber type and spinning style. In addition to traditional methods, modern spinning techniques may involve machine spinning, which allows for mass production of yarn. Techniques like carding and drafting are also essential, as they prepare the fibers for spinning by aligning and thinning them, ensuring a consistent and smooth final product.
