  2. Thread (yarn) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thread_(yarn)

    Thread is similar to yarn, cord, twine, or string, and there is some overlap between the way these terms are used. However, thread is most often used to mean materials fine and smooth enough for sewing, embroidery, weaving, or making lace or net. Yarn is often used to mean a thicker and softer material, suitable for knitting and crochet.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crochet_thread

    Thread hooks are also manufactured differently from yarn hooks: modern yarn hooks are usually aluminum or plastic, while thread hooks are made of steel and have smaller hook heads and shorter shanks.

  7. Yarn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarn

    Yarn is composed of twisted strands of fiber, which are known as plies when grouped together. [19] These strands of yarn are twisted together in the opposite direction to make a thicker yarn. Depending on the direction of this final twist, the yarn will have either s-twist (the threads appear to go "up" to the left) or z-twist (to the right ...

  8. Twine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twine

    Twine is a strong thread, light string or cord composed of string in which two or more thinner strands are twisted, and then twisted together . The strands are plied in the opposite direction to that of their twist, which adds torsional strength to the cord and keeps it from unravelling. This process is sometimes called reverse wrap. [1]

If they are not secured, the loops of a knitted course will come undone when their yarn is pulled; this is known as ripping out , unravelling knitting, or humorously, frogging (because you ...
