All three terms refer to textiles in different phases of production and development; from basic raw material to finished productThey are all the same thing, but they are nothing like each otherThe three terms are not interchangeableFabric is the finished productIt's sold on rolls, cut and sewn into articles of wearing apparel, curtains and bedding, etcFabric can be either knitted or wovenThe knitting or weaving is done with the yarnYarn is the basic component of weaving or knitting textilesYarns can be so fine as to be measured in micrometers, or it can be as thick as bulky knitting yarnThe word yarn and thread can be used interchangeably, although there is a semantic difference which will be mentioned laterIn textile manufacturingThe yarns/threads are set up on a loom and woven or knitted on large knitting machinesYarns and threads are spun from fibersFibers can be natural, such as cotton bolls, wool fleece, polyester rovings, rayon linters, all are merely bunches of fluff with little substanceOn their own, fibers have little tensile strength and can't be used for anything other than stuffing a pillowBut when fibers are spun they become strongerA large machine will draw out the fibers and spin them into long fine strandsWhen several strands of spun fibers are twisted together they form thread/yarnThen the yarn goes to the mill where it is woven or knitted into fabricFiber-yarn-fabricFabrics are made from yarn/thread, yarn/thread is made from fiberSo you will be making whatever it is you want to make from fabricIn addition, yarn is often used to refer to thicker spun fibers, such as you find in knitting yarnAs the spun fibers become finer, it becomes known as thread, such as what you find on spools of sewing thread.
