- Abstract
One of the main problems of yarn quality is its neppiness. Neppiness influences the appearance of yarn, and consequently the quality of fabrics, especially the dyeing uniformity. Cotton fiber neps, defined as entanglements of several fibers, are not a genetically occurring property in seed cotton. Neps are created by the mechanical handling and cleaning of the cotton fiber, the neps increase throughout the ginning, opening and cleaning process. Although there is a decrease during carding and combing, both are designed to align fibers and remove imperfections such as neps (Fig. 1).
