1. Spinning

   Spinning is a major part of the textile industry. It is part of the textile manufacturing process where three types of fibre are converted into yarn, then fabrics, which undergo finishing processes such as bleaching to become textiles. The textiles are then fabricated into clothes or other products. There are three industrial processes available to spin yarn, and a handicraft community who use hand spinning techniques. Spinning is the twisting together of drawn out strands of fibres to form yarn, though it is colloquially used to describe the process of drawing out, inserting the twist, and winding onto bobbins.

Examples of SPINNING in a Sentence

1. Leah Brogan:

   What I always stress is that bad things can happen to us, but they don’t need to define us, it goes back to understanding that there are things out of our control, and we’re really spinning our wheels when we try to control them. What we do have control over is the way we respond to it.

   Even though brown dwarfs are completely covered in clouds, they're too far away for us to pick out individual clouds like we do on planets within our solar system. But we can still measure how long it takes for a group of clouds to do a lap around the atmosphere ; as clouds come in and out of view they change the brightness of the planet, this lap time depends on two things : how fast the brown dwarf itself is spinning, and how fast the wind is blowing on top of that.
