Question

What do you observe in gunny yarn? Compare Jute yarn with other yarns?

Answer 1

• Collect gunny bags, pull out the threads from the bag and observe under magnifying lens. 
• We will see strands of yarn. 
• We can compare these fibres with cotton fibres. 
• In the same way fibre is made from Red sorrel (Gongura) and bamboo. 
• Hemp and flax also plant fibres that are used in making clothes but in smaller quantities as compared to cotton. 
• Like cotton, jute yarn is also useful in making fabric. 
• It is also called Golden fabric. 
• Jute fabrics is not the same as cotton fabric. It is harder, stronger and rougher.
