What is a simple yarn, complex yarn, filament yarn, natural crimp and laces?

this is for fashion class an i do not get the full definitions for them on the internet. i need pictures of how they also look to give me an idea. if you don't know all, you can answer those you know.

thank you in advance.

Simple yarn is that which is made from a single fiber source such as cotton, wool, mohair, acrylic and is smooth to the touch and look.

Complex yarn has different fiber sources in it, sometimes two different fibers are plied together, it can be Indian plied, braided, or be loopy like terry or boucle.

Filament yarn is like made from a single stranding of something like silk which is pulled from the cocoons in one long strand.

Natural crimp refers to wool and mohair. It is the little wavy look of each fiber. The tighter and smaller the crimp the finer the fiber.

Laces I have no idea.

You may be able to find some of the pictures of these on http://www.interweavepress.com in either the Handwoven or the Spin Off magazines.
