What is the primary material in the construction of fabric?

Yarn
Thread
Natural fibers
Synthetic fibers

The correct answer is: Yarn

The primary material in the construction of fabric is yarn. Yarn consists of long, continuous strands of fibers that are twisted together, whether they are made from natural fibers, such as cotton or wool, or synthetic fibers, like polyester or nylon. The process of weaving or knitting yarns together ultimately forms fabric. While thread is essential for sewing fabrics together, it is distinct from yarn and is typically finer and used in a different context. Natural fibers and synthetic fibers represent the raw materials that can be spun into yarn, but they are not the finished product required for fabric construction. Thus, yarn serves as the fundamental element in creating fabric through various textile processes.
