What is the primary difference between spun and filament yarns?

Filament yarns require more twist to hold together compared to spun yarns.

Spun yarns are made through a mechanical process, while filament yarns are chemically produced.

Spun yarns are always used for expensive fabrics, while filament yarns are used for everyday clothing.

Spun yarns are composed of relatively short lengths of fiber, while filament yarns are composed of long continuous strands of fiber. (correct)

What process removes shorter fibers and makes the remaining fibers more parallel in preparation for spinning?

Roving

Combing

Drawing

Carding (correct)

Which spinning method is known for producing the softest hand in yarns and fabrics?

Ring spinning (correct)
