Match the following Column A Column B a) Ginning i) Interlocking of yarns b) Retting ii) Making yarns from fibres c) Spinning iii) Interlacing two sets of yarns. d) Weaving iv) Soaking of jute stems in water e) knitting v) Separating cotton

Ginning is a process in which cotton seeds are separated from the cotton. Then it is pressed into bales for shipment. Stems of the jute plant are bundled and soaked in water for three weeks to soften it, this process is known as the retting. The spinning is a method that is used to produce yarns from fibre. Devices like takli, charkha or machines are used in this process. The weaving is a process of interlacing two sets of yarns to make a fabric. The process of interlocking of two or more yarns together is called knitting. The fabrics made following this process are more stretchable.
