drying

It is a process in which at least two threads or strands of threads twisted from fibers are repeatedly twisted into a thicker and stronger textile. A twisted textile is cohesive because the fibers in the thread or strands have the opposite twist direction to the threads or strands of threads in the twisted textile. In addition to the number of threads and strands, they also differ from each other in thickness, material and use depending on the use. Accordingly, they can be distinguished into twisted threads, twisted threads, twisted basting, twisted twines and twisted ropes. Within the framework of traditional technologies, twisting was done either without tools (by rolling in the hand or with the palm of the hand on the thigh), with tools (various types of spindles, twine handles) or with devices (spinning wheel, rope cart and rope spinning wheel)
