Combed Cotton Yarn

Combed Cotton Yarn
COMBED COTTON YARN
The best qualities of cotton yams are combed. The operation of combing removes the short fibres and impurities not removed by carding, and gives a yarn that is stronger, cleaner, smoother and more lustrous than a carded yarn. It is more expensive than carded yarn. Ordinary combing gives about 15 per cent of waste, super combing gives about 18 to 19 per cent, and double combing 24 to 25 per cent (see Combing)
