Today, we have decided to create, weave and sew together a fascinating tale for you. Threads and yarns are the small, finer elements that make up clothes, just like how atoms and particles make up whole elements. But do you ever think, what is the main differentiation between these two seemingly similar components? There are numerous of them, and we have taken the effort to list the main ones out below for you!
Conceptual Difference
A thread is made from a big length of fibers like cotton, nylon, wool, linen, silk and other natural and synthetic fibers. The main purpose of threads is to sew and stitch garments together or do patch work aka darning to repair damages like cloth ripping or holes in fabrics. A yarn on the other hand is a strand of continuous fiber, be it natural or synthetic. It is basically used to knit and weave fabrics to make clothes. The main difference between the two elements
Indian textiles, since times immemorial, have been one of the strongest backbones of the Indian economy. Yarn, which is made by compiling continuous strands of natural and synthetic fibers together to weave fabrics, is the oxygen of this industry. In this article, we aim to give you an informative and educational overview of the Yarn industry in India.
Indian Economy and Textiles
One of the world’s biggest textile industries, the Indian textile sector has a large store of raw materials and a huge support base for textile manufacturing. In fact, the Indian economy is hugely dependent on this industry. More than twenty-seven percent of India’s foreign exchange income comes from the export of textiles and cloth. In the total industrial production of the country, the contribution of the
India and its yarn prices have seen a huge level of volatility over this year. It began with the ban of Chinese yarn by the United States over alleged Human Rights violations in the Xinjiang province of China against the Uyghur Muslims. Like a domino effect, this led to a big jump in import of yarn from outside of India. This largely happened due to imported yarn being much cheaper than the yarn that was available domestically.
All this increase in imports of cotton yarn has led to raised concerns among domestic textile mills since June of this year. M.A. Ramasamy, president of Powerloom Development and Export Promotion Council highlighted that Indian cotton yarn prices were extremely high and volatile. There has been a lot of uncertainty for weaving units as well due to this volatility.
With the data that is available, it has been recorded that cotton yarn imported in June of this year has almost increased by three times
The Ministry of Textiles celebrated World Cotton Day
The Ministry of Textiles (MoT) of India celebrated World Cotton Day which occurs on the 7th of October. They signed a deal that will enable the mainstreaming of textile sustainability. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) signed this agreement with the Ministry of Textiles. It was done at a recent consultation on ‘Sustainability in the Textile Value Chain’ on the occasion of World Cotton Day.
Objectives such as putting forward and discussing the sustainability initiatives across textile value chains, potential strategies along with digital interventions to enhance sustainability and circularity in the Indian textile value chains were discussed in the meeting. This led to the resulting co-operation agreement to be signed between the three parties. The agreement highlighted the designing of a campaign on ‘mainstreaming sustainability and circularity in th
US Ban on China Cotton Hurting India's Yarn Spinning Industry
When looked at historically, India has always been a big player in the global textiles market. With only China as India’s biggest competitor, the nation has enjoyed a dominant position in the market. But over the year 2022, when it comes to synthetic fibres and especially yarn production, India has observed a significant decline in sales and production.
To trace the state of the yarn spinning industry in India today, we need to understand its situation in the previous year. It began late last year when the United States of America President Joe Biden signed a law that banned the import of cotton products from China, particularly the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region.

The history of the Indian Yarn industry has been quite fascinating. The Indian
textile industry has been well-known to the world since very ancient times. The
traditional textile industry of India went to ruins during the colonial regime and
currently, the textile industry of India has been the pride of our country ever since.
The Textile Industry began its journey in India in the early 19th century. Since its
inception, the industry has seen significant trends across areas like quality,
diversification, profitability, growth etc.
The one aspect in which the Indian Textile industry is still considered obsolete is
technology. There have surely been some groundbreaking trends in terms of
technology too. For example, the Yarn industry is seeing constant technical
growth in Yarn production. The manufacturers have now become more
consumer-oriented and are giving
India is known for its rich heritage of weaving. India holds a rank in global
yarn production. The Yarn produced in India is praised and demanded
globally. Yarn is the ingredient that gives us different types of fabric to wear.
In textile production, Yarns are the fibers twisted together to create a fine
cord, apt for use in most of the processes for the production of textiles. It is
used in a variety of processes to produce textiles. There are several types of
Yarn varied according to their thicknesses, shapes, source, and their use.
There are two main categories in which Yarn is divided which are then
subdivided into several other categories.
Spun or Staple Yarn

Since the beginning of the civilized-human era, Yarn has been of great
significance. Yarn provided civilization with the clothes to wear which has
been one of the few things that have survived the passage of time over
centuries and centuries.
The Indian Yarn industry has been one of the oldest Yarn industries in the
world. India’s Yarn history goes as far back as 1500 B.C. From then to now,
our nation’s Yarn market and Industry have come a long way. India’s Yarn
era is divided into two types of Yarn industry: the Traditional Yarn/Textile
Industry and the Modern Yarn Industry.
The first Indian textile mill was established in 1818, marking the beginning
of the modern yarn industry in India. Today, it’s been more than 200 years
since the inception of the Modern Yarn Industry in India, and in these two
hundred years, the Yarn Industry has wit
