Fiber Characteristics Being Influenced by Staple Length

Staple Length of fibre: The average spinnable length of fibre is termed as the staple fibre. For example, short-staple cotton fibre is up to 1 1/8″ long. A long-staple fibre is between 1 1/8″ and 1 1/4 “long. The extra-long staple fibre is between 1 3/8″ and 2” long.

Staple length influences the following fibre characteristics:
i. Spinning limit.
ii. Yarn evenness.
iii. Handle of the product.
iv. The lustre of the product.
v. Yarn hairiness.
vi. Productivity.
