The blending of cottons with dissimilar fiber properties has been investigated to determine its effect upon processing performance, spinning performance and yarn quality in medium and fine count yarns. In these trials, the effect of grade and cavitomic damage (SM and LM, Sp.), fiber fineness (3.4 and 5.5 Micronaire reading), staple length (1/8 in. and 1 1/16 in.) and fiber strength (70,000 lb./in. 2 and 95,000 lb./in.2) was evaluated. Cotton bales differing appreciably in the property being investigated but having other pertinent properties similar were used. For each trial, the 100% components of the property being investigated and three blends of these cottons were run. The effects of varying percentages of the different cotton fiber properties upon spinning performance and yarn quality are shown.
