Implication

Comparative study reveals increased hairiness and variability in fabrics made from cotton waste yarn, indicating suitability for home textiles and denim.

Key Points

To assess the qualitative parameters, spatial distribution, and variability of fabric hairiness in woven textiles produced from cotton waste yarn compared to virgin cotton yarn.
Spun 29.5 tex yarns from 100% virgin cotton and 100% blowroom cotton waste using a Rieter R37 rotor spinning machine to weave sample fabrics.
Evaluated yarn quality percentiles using USTER STATISTICS 2023 benchmarks.
Applied the quadrat method across three grid cell sizes to analyze the spatial distribution and statistical variability of fabric hairiness.
Virgin cotton yarn achieved high quality categorization (USP ≤ 5%), whereas cotton waste yarn placed in a lower tier (USP = 51%–75%).
Woven fabrics containing 100% cotton waste weft yarn exhibited higher mean values and higher variance in fabric hairiness than virgin cotton fabrics.
Increasing the grid cell size in the quadrat analysis significantly altered the statistical variability of the fabric hairiness index.
