Question

Select the extra step which is used in Worsted yarn spinning than Woolen yarn spinning.

• A. Opening
• B. Combing
• C. Scouring
• D. Spinning

Hint:

Remember: Combing = key difference. Woolen = fuzzy yarn, Worsted = smooth, parallel fibers.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Difference between Worsted and Woolen yarns.
- Woolen yarn: Short fibers, fuzzy, bulky, less smooth, traps air, used in warm clothing.
- Worsted yarn: Long fibers, parallel arrangement, smooth, fine, strong, used for suiting.
Step 2: Importance of combing.
In Worsted yarn spinning, the fibers are passed through a combing process.
This removes short fibers (called noils) and arranges long fibers in parallel form.
This step is not present in Woolen spinning.
Step 3: Option analysis.
- (A) Opening: Present in both woolen and worsted spinning.
- (B) Combing: Correct — extra step in worsted spinning.
- (C) Scouring: Present in both, it cleans wool.
- (D) Spinning: Present in both systems.
Step 4: Conclusion.
Thus, Combing is the additional step in Worsted yarn spinning.
