Yarn Dyeing Dyeing the wool after it has been spun into yarn is yarn dyed. Warp yarns are strung parallel with each other from the front of the loom though the movable eyelets to the back of the loom. The eyelets raise and lower the warp yarns in relation to one another. As warp yarns are raised and lowered alternately with each cycle of the loom, a weft yarn is carried from side to side across the loom. The resulting latticework is the woven fabric.
Modern looms can produce an infinite variety of fabrics by varying the warp cycle sequence.
Knitting Knitted fabrics are produced by interlocking rows of yarn loops. As new loops are formed, they are drawn through these previously shaped. This interlooping and the continued formation of new loops produces knit fabric. Circular knitting machines produce mainly jersey and a variety of double knits. Flat knitting machines produce yard goods such as triscot and raschel knits.
