Yarns that are spun from short fibres, like cotton. The staple is the length of the fibre, so you might say 'Egyptian cotton is better quality than Indian cotton because it has a longer staple.' Many artificial yarns are extruded, that is made like squeezing toothpaste from a tube, so they don't need to be spun to make a long thread.
Staple fibers are of finite length. Think about wool fibers or cotton fibers. The lengths of individual fibers could be measured in inches. Filament fibers, such as silk, are very very long, measuring in hundreds of yards or even miles.
Staple fibers are held together by twist to form yarn that is longer than the length of the individual fibers. Filament fibers are twisted together to create greater strength or thickness, but not greater length.
Bulk Continuous Filament (BCF) fibers tend to be less fuzzy and smoother than staple fibers (depending on preparation and blending).

Conversion of staple fiber into yarn is called?
Individual fibers are spun into yarn.
What is a uniform spun yarn with long staple fibers and few protruding fiber ends?
fib
What is the difference between a spun yarn a filament yarn and a textured bulk filament yarn?
difference between spun yarn and filament yarn
What is the difference between ring spun and open end yarn?
Ring spun yarn is when the yarn is both twisted and wound at the same time. Open ended spun yarn is when the yarn is twisted by rotating at the hap or break in the flow.
An informal story spun out in a casual way?
A yarn. Hence- "spun".
What is the difference between spun yarn and synthetic yarn?
Any fibre, regardless of the source -- natural or man-made, can be spun. Synthetic yarn contains no natural fibres.
What happens after yarn is made?
Yarn is spun and then sold for craft use.
How do you improve Elongation percent in Ring spun Yarn?
There are three commercial methods of spinning yarn into the product we see at the store. They are called Ring Spun, Rotor Spun, and Friction Spun. Each method produces different results in the yarn. Increasing the elongation percent in Ring Spun yarn requires a fiber preparation method of carding (brushing). This will produce a softer, longer yarn whis is best used for knitted items.
What does the term ring spun mean?
The term ring spun means that the yarn was spun with a ring device. The handle has a soft touch to it. It results in the yarn being soft and very durable and strong.
This was spun to make designs on clothing?
yarn

What is ring spun carded and combed yarn and what are their uses?
There are three commercial methods of spinning yarn into the product we see at the store. They are called Ring Spun, Rotor Spun, and Friction Spun. Each method produces different results in the yarn. The full question, ring spun carded and combed, refers to the fiber preparation method of carding (brushing) and combing the fibers prior to spinning, in order to form a softer yarn which is best for soft knit items. The fibers are spun in a ring arrangement making it unnecessary for extra plies, so the yarn is much finer. There is also a downside to using ring spun, because the very process that causes it to be softer also causes the yarn to be more prone to breaking.
