cotton spinning
Making thread fibers
Cotton spinning is the process of twisting cotton fibers into thread or yarn.
The fibers are drawn out and twisted together to create a continuous strand strong enough for weaving or knitting.
Once done by hand with a spindle or wheel, cotton spinning became mechanized during the Industrial Revolution, transforming textile production.
