Yarn
is a long continuous length of interlocked fibers, suitable
for use in the production of textiles, sewing, crocheting,
knitting, weaving, embroidery and ropemaking. Thread is a
type of yarn intended for sewing by hand or machine. Modern
manufactured sewing threads may be finished with wax or other
lubricants to withstand the stresses involved in sewing. Embroidery
threads are yarns specifically designed for hand or machine
embroidery. |
