Compact Spinning Effect on Cotton Yarn Quality Interactions with Fiber Characteristics
Resumen
Compact or condensed spinning technology
is widely considered as the new benchmark
for staple yarn quality. The enhanced structure of
compact yarn typically results in a lower hairiness
and improved mechanical properties. The present
study examines these two key benefits of compact
technology when applied to short-to-medium staple
cotton. The main focus is on interaction effects
involving various raw fiber properties rather than on
the overall effects. The results show that, with some
combinations of fiber characteristics, using the compact
technology does not lead to significant hairiness
reduction. However, yam tensile properties
(strength and elongation values) do not appear to
be directly affected by these interactions.
