Fundamental understanding of the relationship between cotton fiber and yarn properties is important, as fiber properties are determined through a number of well-defined protocols. In this study, yarn linear density was assessed by gravimetric method, and then was compared with (a) yarn counts (used for calculating the yarn tenacity), (b) HVI fiber micronaire, and (c) AFIS fiber fineness.
