Abstract

The aim of this work is to study the influence of the following parameters: waste fibre properties, twist multiplier and yarn linear density on open end yarn characteristics. Cotton waste fibres which extracted from Giza 70, raw cotton "Giza 31" and their blends were the subject of the experiments. A wide range of yarn count Nm 14 to Nm 34 and twist multiplier α m 115 to α m 140 was used. The results declared that, there is a significant correlation between fibre parameters and open-end yarn properties . The increase in twist multiplier and as yarn becomes finer does affect the open-end yarn quality.
