Cotton is a natural fibre available easily and abundant quantity. It is a most suitable fibre for textile spinning & clothing due to it’s good spinnability & human friendly characteristics. As cotton is a natural fibre hence it’s properties also affected with several other factors which create variation in fibre properties, these variations also affect spinning processes & it’s products Quality in multi dimensions. Each fibre characteristic impact individually and collectively on spinning process or at ultimate product quality. Revolutionary changes observed in last two decade in the field of spinning machineries where processing speeds greatly increased to enhance production rate. Not only production rate of spinning machines increased but speeds of it’s downstream processes also increased simultaneously which requires better quality of yarn for smooth process and without any interruption to get the maximum efficiency. Hence now it is most important to co-relate fibre properties with respect to it’s consumer process competency. In this article we will discuss the different cotton properties and it’s impact on spinning process and product quality in present prospective and will try to minimize the impact of poor fibre properties on process or product Quality through better Mixing plan selection.
The following terms & definitions are used to describe and explain cotton fiber maturity.
Circularity :
The degree of thickening which is calculated by the cross sectional area of the fiber wall divided by the area of a circle of the same perimeter.
Theta :
Average circularity of the matured fibers also described as the degree of thickening.
Fineness (mtex) : Average fiber fineness (weight per unit length) in millitex. 1000 meters of fibers with a mass of 1 milligram equals 1 millitex.
IFC (%) :
Immature fiber content in percent. Percentage of fibers with less than 0.25 circularity. The lower the IFC% the better the fiber is for dyeing.
Maturity Ratio :
Maturity Ratio is the ratio of fibers with a 0.5 (or more) circularity ratio devided by the amount of fibers with a 0.25 (or less) circularity. The higher the maturity ratio, the more mature the fibers are and the better the fibers are for dyeing.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. Where Quality Starts
Why is Supima cotton a premium cotton?
Pima accounts for only three percent of annual cotton production in the United
States. Its fineness and longer staple length makes Pima a premium cotton fiber. It
is used to spin finer count yarns, which can be knitted or woven into softer, finer
and more luxurious fabrics. It is grown in select areas of the far West and
Southwest U.S. where the cotton can benefit from a long growing season in a hot,
dry climate. Pima cotton is grown almost exclusively on furrowed rows where
growers can closely regulate irrigation and other inputs. Its production costs can
vary in different states and regions, but it generally runs about the same as upland
cotton costs in the same area. Ginning is more expensive because Pima cotton is
roller-ginned, not saw-ginned like upland cotton. Pima is grown in Arizona,
California, New Mexico and Texas.
4. What is Pima cotton?
Pima cotton is a generic name for extra-long staple (ELS) cotton grown in the
U.S., Australia, Peru and in very limited production in a few other locations
around the world. Pima is from the gossypium barbadense species, compared
to gossypium hirsutum to which upland cotton belongs. The primary differences
between Pima (ELS growths) cotton and upland cotton are staple length and
strength. In the U.S., cotton is considered to be ELS or Pima if it is an inch and
3/8 or longer. Its strength and uniformity measurements are also considerably
higher than those of upland cotton.

Cotton Laydown Opening, Blending, and Cleaning
• The cotton fibers must be opened, blended, and cleaned.
• Bales of cotton are configured in a way for consistent characteristics of the cotton
fiber. Unfortunately, nature does the grow the fibers same way every time. There
are variabilities in fiber-to-fiber, bale-to-bale, and field-to-field.
• To reduce these varabilities, special procedures and equipment are needed.
• The pictures above displays the equipment typically used in cotton bale opening,
blending, and cleaning.
• The picture (1) shows how the cotton is introduced into the process. The bales are
laid down in a particular mix and configuration.
• Picture (2) shows the equipment which will further open, blend, and clean the
cotton fibers.
8. 3 4
Carding Pre-Drawing
• Once the cotton fibers have been processed through the opening, blending, and cleaning
equipment, the cotton fibers are individually cleaned, aligned, and formed into a card
sliver with a certain weight per unit length.
• Picture (3) displays the “carding” equipment used for this process.
• The cotton fibers will be transformed into various shapes, sizes, and weights through out
the fiber to yarn process.
• Picture (4) shows the next step in the process which is called “Pre-Drawing.” The
purpose of this process is to further align the cotton fibers and to blend the slivers into a
more consistent specified weight and length.
9. 5 6
Lapwinding Combing
• The next step in the process is to further blend and align the cotton sliver from “Pre-
Drawing” and convert the product into a package which can be presented to the
“Combing” process.
• This process is called “Lapwinding.” Picture (5) shows an example of the product
which is produced at “Lapwinding.”
• Picture (6) is a comber with the laps mounted above. On this particular machine, eight
laps are introduced to the combing process.
• Without this process, no cotton yarn can be considered “combed.”
• The combing equipment will actually comb the shorter fibers and remaining organic leaf
and stems particles (pepper trash) from the cotton fiber bundle presented to the comber
in a lap form.
• The comber will transform the 8 laps back to a sliver with a specific weight per length
parameter. This allows for additional blending (8 laps to on sliver).
• The product produced from this process is brighter, softer, and more delicate.
10. 7 88
Roving
Finished Drawing
• The next step is to blend and align the the combed cotton sliver in the process called
“Finished Drawing.” In the picture (7) you can see where a certain number of cans are
placed behind the machine. Out the front, the product is one sliver which weighs a
specified weight per unit length.
• This is the most critical process by which the consistency of the yarn weight (Yarn
Count) is determined. Now you know why there is so much blending in the processes
leading up to this point.
• The next picture (8)is that of a “Roving Machine.” Its purpose is to transform the
“Finished Cotton Sliver” into a product which can be presented to the “Ring Spinning”
machine. This product is called “Roving.” The “Roving” has certain weight per unit
length parameter as well.

Ring Spinning Aisle Ring Spinning Drafting System
• Picture (9) displays a Ring Spinning alley. Here you can see the Roving hung above the
machine and processed into yarn.
• The Roving is drafted (stretched) by a series of rolls. Each roll rotates at a different
“rpm” ( one faster than the previous). This increasing speed of the rolls creates a
drafting effect which reduces the weight of the roving (weight per unit length) to the
approximate target weight of the yarn.
• Twist is inserted on the fiber bundle at the time that it exits the last roller. The amount
of twist inserted is determined by by various factors. Those factors are runability of the
yarn in Spinning, runability of the yarn in the subsequent process, fabric strength
required, and “look and feel” of fabric ( knitted or woven) which customer is trying to
achieve.
• Picture (10) shows the drafting system (rolls) by which the roving weight is reduced to
the desire yarn weight.

Spinning Bobbins Winder
• Once the yarn has been formed by adding twist, it is wound onto a bobbin for further
processing. Picture (11) shows this product prior to transporting it to the “Winder.”
• The ring spinning machine fills the bobbin with yarn. The yarn on the bobbin is still not
suitable for knitting or weaving. This bobbin yarn must be transformed to a cone of
yarn which has much more length wound onto it than the bobbin.
• The next process is “Winding.” Winding takes the bobbins from the ring spinning
machine and winds it to a cone. You can see this cone being formed on the winder
machine by looking at the yellow arrow.
• The yarn which is wound on the cone at the winder is cleared of major defects. These
defects are in the form of “thick and thin” places along the yarn. We remove these
defects so as to not create an objectionable defect in the fabric. The device which clear
the defects cannot cut out every “thick or thin” place in the yarn. We controll the size
and length of the defect to cut out.
13. 13 14

Packing
• Lastly, the finished cones are packed or placed in a container which is suitable for the
customer.
• There are various packing methods. The two most common are the cardboard cases and
pallets.
• The package type is determined whether the customer shipment is local or international,
the amount of space available at the knitting or weaving site, and optimization of the
cargo weight.

15. Just the beginning…..
• The process of converting cotton fibers into yarns is more complicated than it may
appear. The spinner must buy his cotton very selectively based on his market.
• The quality of the yarn is directly proportionate to the fiber quality. Much like any other
product, the raw material used determines the quality of the final product. The raw
materials is usually the most expensive component of any product.
• Attention to details and a passion for making the best quality yarns is the secret to being
successful in a competitive market.
• Now that you have the best quality yarn available in the market, our customers can focus
on making the best quality fabric in the market.
• The story continues …..
