Abstract

Three types of cotton fibers were used in producing a wide range of yams. Count, twist  factor, spinning parameters was varied at different levels. Twenty two plain and twill fabrics  were produced from these yams. All fabrics were dyed under the same conditions with Ciba  reactive dye Blue-3G.E. The effect of fiber, yam and fabric variables on colour measurements  was Investigated. Hue, Chroma, Lightness, Colour Strength and colour depth was measured. It  was found that cotton type, spinning process, count, twist multiplier and fabric structure affect  significantly colour measurements.
