Worsted spinning is a method of yarn production that uses long, straight fibers, typically from wool or other animal fibers. This technique involves carding the fibers to align them and then drawing them out to create a smooth, strong yarn. The resulting yarn is known for its durability and is often used in high-quality fabrics. In contrast to woolen spinning, which uses shorter fibers and results in a fluffier texture, worsted spinning produces a tighter, more even yarn. This makes it ideal for applications like sweaters, suits, and other garments where a sleek finish is desired.
