A staple fiber , such as cotton, linen, or wool, is made into yarn by carding , combing (for fine, long staples only), drawing out into roving, then spinning . Continuous filaments, such as silk, rayon, and nylon, may be formed directly into yarn or may be cut into short lengths and prepared like staple fibers.
