Animal fibers used to create yarn include wool, alpaca, cashmere, and angora. Synthetic fibers include acrylic, polyester, and microfibers. Yarn fibers arrive at the factor in bales and may or may not be already dyed. The fibers go through a process of combing, steaming, and finally are wound up into the yarn skeins and balls you see on store shelves.
