Abstract
Traditionally the commercial value of cotton is accessed on the basis of subjective grading. The grade of cotton is decided on the basis of color, trash and ginning preparation, staple length and strength. Characteristics like length variation, fineness and maturity are also taken into account.[14] It is necessary for the cotton spinning mills to produce good quality yarn and that too at a competitive price. The cost and quality of yarn is greatly dependent on the cost and quality of cotton. So, wise selection of cotton and control on the cost at different stages of spinning, weaving, processing and marketing is very essential. It is a common practice in textile mills to mix cottons of different varieties. Hence, it is imperative to select the right cottons for the same, since it is one of the major factors affecting the total yarn cost as well as the final yarn quality.
