In the spinning the process of drawing continues until the twisted
thread is reduced to the size required, which, either singly or twisted
together in two, three or four strands, is to be used for weaving.
The yarn is then very carefully inspected, and all imperfections which
would show in the finished goods are removed, and, if it is to be dyed
in the skein, the yarn is taken to a reel, where the skeins are made
ready for the dyehouse.
~HOW CLOTH IS MADE FROM WOOL~
The threads must now be prepared for the loom, in order that the actual
weaving may be done. The thread is used in two ways in weaving--as
warp, which is the thread which runs lengthwise of the cloth, and as
filling, or woof, which runs across the cloth from side to side.
