Today, ginning is done with the use of particular machinery. But back then, women had to make use of their small hands or feet to gin the fibers. After the ginning process, the fibers are cleaned in preparation for spinning. About the cotton The cotton is cleaned by removing the bits of dirt, while the carding pulls the fibers to form a parallel line in preparation for the spinning process. Drafting is done to let the fibers slide past one another and then allowing the twist to catch. The size of the yarn is dependent on the amount of fiber caught by the twist. When you begin to spin, the goal is to focus on the fiber between your hands. This is the fiber that will eventually turn to yarn. They skillfully practiced fingerweaving and even learned how to properly use the back strap loom which even originated from the tribes of Mexican India. Weaving Back then, weaving was regarded as one of man s common activities in most pueblos. They proceeded with the weaving processes in the kiva, which is a ceremonial room. The spinning jenny is actually a spinning wheel that has more than one spool. It was created by James Hargreaves back in 1764 in the area of Stanhill, specifically Blackburn in Lancashire, which can be located in the Northwestern part of England. This device dramatically decreased the amount of time and work that a particular person actually needed in order to come up with a yarn product. The charkha functions very much like the great wheel, with a drive wheel turned using the hand. The yarn is then spun off the tip of the spindle. The floor charkha and the great wheel is very much the same. The spinning, however, should cease to successfully wind the yarn right onto the spindle. The Indian independence movement used the charkha as a symbol and tool. The warp threads will go lengthways of the cloth piece, while the weft will run across from one side to the next. Cloth is woven on a loom. The loom is a material that holds the warp threads together while the threads are woven through it. Weft means "that which is woven", which is a old English term.
