Garnfäden

Garnfäden, often translated as yarn threads or simply yarn, refers to spun strands of natural or synthetic fibers. These threads are the fundamental building blocks for creating textiles through various methods like weaving, knitting, crocheting, and embroidery. The type of fiber used significantly impacts the yarn's properties, such as its strength, texture, elasticity, and warmth. Common natural fibers include cotton, wool, silk, and linen, each offering distinct characteristics. Synthetic fibers, such as polyester, nylon, and acrylic, are also widely employed, often prized for their durability, resistance to shrinking, and affordability. The process of creating yarn involves spinning fibers together to form a continuous thread. This spinning can be done by hand or by machine, with different techniques resulting in yarns of varying thickness, twist, and ply. The thickness is often categorized by weight, ranging from lace weight, very fine, to super bulky, quite thick. Yarn's versatility makes it essential in industries from fashion and home furnishings to crafts and industrial applications.
