from a plant or an animal and are mainly used in weaving textiles by hand loom and power loom. There are three major spinning
processes: cotton, worsted or long-staple, or wool. Synthetic staple fibers can be made with any of these processes. Natural
fibers may require cleaning, whereas synthetic fibers only require separating. The location of industries is determined by
the following factors. Raw materials, power, labour, transport, market and Government policies.
