Problem: Solve the worksheet on "Fibre to Fabric" for Class VI.
####
Worksheet Details:
The worksheet covers topics related to fibres, their classification, and the processes involved in converting fibres into fabrics. Below is a detailed solution for each question.
---
Question 1: Define the following.
#### a) Fibres
-
Definition: Fibres are thin, thread-like materials that can be spun into yarns and woven or knitted into fabrics. They can be natural (derived from plants or animals) or synthetic (man-made).
#### b) Natural Fibres
-
Definition: Natural fibres are obtained from natural sources such as plants, animals, or minerals. Examples include cotton, wool, silk, and jute.
#### c) Synthetic Fibres
-
Definition: Synthetic fibres are man-made fibres produced from chemicals and petrochemicals. Examples include nylon, polyester, and acrylic.
#### d) Ginning
-
Definition: Ginning is the process of separating cotton fibres from the seeds after harvesting. This is done using a machine called a gin.
#### e) Spinning
-
Definition: Spinning is the process of drawing out, twisting, and winding fibres to form a continuous thread or yarn. This prepares the fibres for weaving or knitting.

Question 2: Match the following.
| A | B |
|----------------------------|-------------|
| i. Plant fibre | Jute |
| ii. Animal fibre | Silk |
| iii. Making yarn | Spinning |
| iv. Separation of seeds by combing | Ginning |
| v. Arranging 2 sets of yarns | Weaving |
| vi. Synthetic fibre | Nylon |
#### Matching:
- i. Plant fibre → Jute
- ii. Animal fibre → Silk
- iii. Making yarn → Spinning
- iv. Separation of seeds by combing → Ginning
- v. Arranging 2 sets of yarns → Weaving
- vi. Synthetic fibre → Nylon

Question 3: Fill in the blanks.
#### a) _______ and _______ are made from coconut fibre.
-
Answer: Coir and matting are made from coconut fibre.
#### b) Polyester is a _______ fibre.
-
Answer: Polyester is a synthetic fibre.
#### c) Weaving of fabric is done on _______.
-
Answer: Weaving of fabric is done on a loom.
#### d) _______ fibre is obtained from the stem of a plant.
-
Answer: Jute fibre is obtained from the stem of a plant.
