Abstract

This study focused on the effect of spindle speed and traveler weight on the tensile properties of 21s Ne 100% cotton carded ring spun yarns. A set of five different traveler weights and three different spindle speeds were used for ring spinning of 21’s Ne 100% cotton yarn under working conditions so as to optimize these two parameters for spinning carded ring-spun yarns good tenacity. The 21’s Ne 100% cotton carded ring-spun yarns thus produced were tested for their tensile properties such as tenacity and breaking elongation using ASTM standards. The results showed that the combination of 13000 rpm spindle speed and the traveler weight of 45mg produced the optimum tenacity ring spun yarns.
