The fiber sorter is an instrument which enables the sample to be fractionalized into length groups. The Baer sorter, the Shirley comb sorter, and the Suter-Webb sorter are the most popular method of the fiber sorter. Basically, the operation involves four main steps:
Preparation of a fringe or tuft with all fibers aligned at one end.
The separation or withdrawal of fibers in order of decreasing length.
The preparation of a sorter diagram by laying the fibers on a black velvet pad in decreasing order of length, the fibers parallel and their lower ends aligned along a horizontal base line as shown in Figure.
The analysis of the sorter diagram.
Fiber Length and Length Distribution
After fineness, length is the most important property of a fiber. The length of cotton is directly related to its spinning performance. Knowledge of fiber length is necessary to manufacture a yarn of specific size on ring spinning system and typically longer fibers are used to manufacture fine yarns. Longer fibers are generally more uniform, finer, and stronger than shorter ones.
Graphical Representation of Mass Variations
Graphical Representation of Mass Variations Graphical representations are aimed at providing easy analysis possibilities as well as providing more complete information than the numerical estimates. The following graphical representations are common with the latest generation evenness testers.

Yarn Evenness II It’s Classification
Yarn Evenness & It’s Classification Evenness, Unevenness, regularity, and irregularity are common terms used to describe the degree of uniformity of a textile product. In the textile field, the uniformity of products like the lap, sliver, roving or yam is expressed in terms of evenness or regularity or in terms of unevenness or irregularity. A […]
Unevenness and Coefficient of Variation of Yarn
Unevenness and Coefficient of Variation of Yarn: The average value for all the deviations from the mean which is expressed as a percentage of the overall mean is called percentage of Mean Deviation (PMD). The coefficient of mass variation CV % is the ratio of standard deviation of mass variation divided by average mass variation.
Index of Irregularity
The ratio between the actual irregularity present in the material and the calculated limit irregularity is called index of irregularity. It is denoted by I. Accordingly the best yarn have a value of I = 1. Thus, the higher value of I indicate that the yarn is more irregular. On the other hand, the CV of the most regular/uniform strand of material in which the fiber ends are laid in a random order in the sliver, roving, or yarn is called limit irregularity.
Introduction to Marketing
Broadly defined, marketing is a social and managerial process by which individuals and organizations obtain what they need and want through creating and exchanging value with others. In a narrower business context, marketing involves building profitable, value laden exchange relationships with customers. Hence, we define marketing as the process by which companies create value for customers and build strong customer relationships in order to capture value from customers in return.
Basic weft Knitting Loops
When the needle is raised sufficiently high by the camming action to obtain the yarn in the hooked portion of the needle and the old loop is below the latch [i.e, the old loop is cleared], a knit stitch will be formed as the needle descends.
Float Stitch and it’s Formation Process
A float stitch or welt stitch is composed of a held loop, one or more float loops and knitted loops.It is produced when a needle (M) holding its old loop fails to receive the new yarn that passes, as a float loop to the back of the needle. The float stitch shows the missed yarn floating freely on the reverse side of the held loop.
Tuck Stitch and it’s Formation Process
A tuck stitch is composed of a held loop, one or more tuck loops and knitted loops. It is produced when a needle holding its loop (T) also receives the new loop, which becomes a tuck loop because it is not intermeshed through the old loop. The tuck loop thus assumes an inverted V or U-shaped configuration. The head of the tuck is visible on the reverse of the stitch.The side limbs of tuck loops thus tend to show through onto the face between adjacent wales. Tuck stitch structures show a faint diagonal line effect on their surface. In analysis, a tuck stitch is identified by the fact that its head is released as a hump shape immediately the needle loop above it is withdrawn. A knitted loop would be required to be separately withdrawn
