  Author(s): Tiliksew Addisa*, Abera Kachi and Jun Wang
  
  Yarn property is dependent on the properties of its constituent and the arrangements of fibers within the yarn, the mass distribution of yarn along its length. This research was focused to analyze the effect of different cotton fiber properties from common varieties grown in Ethiopian on yarn properties. Three types of cotton samples from DP 90, Stam 59A, and Local cotton varieties, were assessed. High Volume Instrument (HVI 1000) was used to characterize the properties of the fibers. Fiber characterization was conducted using HVI instrument followed by yarn production with a laboratory scale China mini mill spinning machine. The correlation between fiber and yarn properties on (Tex 30) count which is commonly produced in Ethiopian textiles was analyzed using Minitab 17 software. The results indicated that yarn spun from the local cotton shows with better yarn properties... Read More»
