This research was performed to investigate the yarn and cotton fiber property interactions to the ring spinning system by using correlation analysis. The implications of these interactions are critical to the spinner because depending on raw fiber selection. On experimental part a total of 180 ring yarns were produced from 15 different cotton blends on the same ring spinning machine under the same conditions at Ege University Textile and Apparel Research-Application Centre. Each blend was spun in four yarn counts (Ne 20, Ne 25, Ne 30 and Ne 35) at three different coefficient of twist (αe 3.8, αe 4.2 and αe 4.6). After the correlation analysis significant interactions were determined. In particular, very high correlation was found between fibre strength and all yarn parameters.
Key Words: HVI, cotton fibre, ring spinning, cotton yarn, interaction, correlation.
