What is yarn?
A strand of twisted fibers made from silk, cotton, wool, or other materials used for sewing, crocheting, weaving, knitting or weaving.
The most common plant fiber is cotton, spun into fine yarn to make cloth.
The most commonly used animal yarn [fiber] is wool harvested from sheep. Mohair and cashmere wool are harvested from goats. More rarely, yarn is spun from the alpaca, angora rabbit, yak, and other animals. Source: Yarn @ Wikipedia.org
