Beside strength, length is the topmost quality factor of cotton fibres. Fibres being relatively short, any millimeter of length difference is of a great importance. According to practical experience, under otherwise identical conditions, the turns of twist to be applied in spinning depend essentially on the elementary fibre length. The effect of elementary fibre length and the applied turns of twist on the number of filling yarn breakage is examined. For any count, the optimum elementary fibre length and turns of twist with the possible least inherent filling breakage number may be predetermined.
