What does snagging refer to in fabric?

Softening of fabric over time
Fading of colors
Catching and pulling a yarn out of the fabric surface
Accumulation of dirt and dust

The correct answer is: Catching and pulling a yarn out of the fabric surface

Snagging refers to the occurrence where a yarn is caught and pulled out of the surface of the fabric, resulting in an unsightly loop or pull. This can happen due to various factors including friction with other materials, rough handling, or snagging on sharp objects. This phenomenon can significantly affect the appearance and durability of the fabric, often making it seem worn or damaged. The other options describe different conditions or effects that fabrics may undergo but do not accurately define snagging. Softening of fabric over time refers to the natural process of fibers becoming more pliable and comfortable, while fading of colors pertains to the loss of vibrancy of the dyes used in the fabric due to sunlight or washing. The accumulation of dirt and dust relates to staining or soiling of the fabric rather than structural damage to its fibers. These distinctions are crucial in understanding the specific terminology used in textile care and maintenance.
