Why does a sewing needle become magnetized when pushed/pulled through fabric for a lengthy period of time?

I tried a google search, but almost everything I could find related to how to magnetize a needle to make a home-made compass.
I think it has something to do with the friction making the electrons move in different patterns, but that could be way off. Just curious about something I noticed.
