Loopinga cotton thread around his thimbled fingers, Ah-lok holds another end in his mouth. By the sleight of his hand and a light bob of his head, the looped thread begins snipping the hairs in a grasp-release motion like cutting scissors. To ensure satisfactory results, each threader must be relentless about precision. God is in the details, and one minor lapse is enough to mess up all the work, especially when shaping a perfect eyebrow curve. Here is a small selection of threads that would be perfect for beginners to learn and practice before progressing to "harder" threads.

For small tutorial on weaving using polyester cord, we have one here created by Emma for some easy inspiration. Artificial fibres can be processed as long fibres or batched and cut so they can be processed like a natural fibre. Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia. Threading allows for a more defined and precise shape and can create better definition for eyebrows. It is also used as a method of removing unwanted hair on the entire face and upper lip area. Threading is not a good method for removing hair on arms or legs, as the hair in those regions is typically quite coarse and there is too much to remove. [ citation needed] History [ edit ]The spindle is driven (usually at an angular velocity that is either constant or changes only slowly), and the traveller is dragged around a ring by the loop of yarn passing round it. The pre-industrial techniques of hand spinning with a spindle or spinning wheel continue to be practiced as handicraft or hobby and enable wool or unusual vegetable and animal staples to be used. The processes to make short-staple yarn (typically spun from fibers from 1.9 to 5.1 centimetres (0.75 to 2.0in)) are blending, opening, carding, pin-drafting, roving, spinning, and—if desired—plying and dyeing. In long staple spinning, the process may start with stretch-break of tow, a continuous "rope" of synthetic fiber. In open-end and air-jet spinning, the roving operation is eliminated. The spinning frame winds yarn around a bobbin. [6] Generally, after this step the yarn is wound to a cone for knitting or weaving.

Hemp threads are made from a natural, bio-degradable material and naturally coloured - perfect for the conscious environmentally friendly creator. A perfect alternative to synthetic cords, hemp cords are perfect for the designer with heaver beads made of wood or bone/horn, as the thread is closely knit woven piece which extremely durable and supple meaning your creations will last countless years. As said before, they come in a variety of natural colours and tones and their cords are perfect for macrame for firm and attractive knotted creations. Hemp is especially good at keeping it's overall shape and form when finished due to its natural material. Saxonhouse, Gary, "Technological Evolution in Cotton Spinning, 1878–1933" (PDF), SST Seminars, Stanford University, archived from the original (PDF) on July 16, 2011 Eyebrow threading is a centuries-old technique that began in the Middle East and South Asia. [2] [5] In some countries, it signified rites of passages such as preparing for marriage. [2] [6]
