Yarn

Yarn is a long continuous length of interlocked fibres, used in sewing, crocheting, knitting, weaving, embroidery, ropemaking, and the production of textiles.

A spinning wheel is a device for spinning thread or yarn from fibres.

The basic purpose of any loom is to hold the warp threads under tension to facilitate the interweaving of the weft threads.

Most commonly, a new stitch is formed by inserting the tapered end through an active stitch, catching a loop (also called a bight) of fresh yarn and drawing it through the stitch; this secures the initial stitch and forms a new active stitch in its place.

In using a seam ripper, the sharp point of the tool is inserted into the seam underneath the thread to be cut.

A bobbin or spool is a spindle or cylinder, with or without flanges, on which yarn, thread, wire, tape or film is wound.

Each thread in the warp passes through a heddle, which is used to separate the warp threads for the passage of the weft.

A spindle whorl is a weighted object fitted to a spindle to help maintain the spindle's speed of rotation while spinning yarn.

A sewing needle, used for hand-sewing, is a long slender tool with a pointed tip at one end and a hole (or eye) to hold the sewing thread.

A needle threader is a device for helping to put thread through the eye of a needle.

The nostepinne, also known as a nostepinde or nøstepinde, is a tool used in the fiber arts to wind yarn, often yarn that has been hand spun, into a ball for easily knitting, crocheting, or weaving from.

A wrap reel or skein winder is a device for measuring yarn and making it into hanks of a standard size.

A punch needle is a manual tool used for embroidery or rug making that creates a field of tightly packed loops of thread or yarn on a woven fabric substrate.

It interlaces warp and weft threads via mechanisms like cams, gears, levers, and pulleys, replicating motions previously done manually.
