ABSTRACT
Ginning and lint cleaning methods are utilized to remove (or reduce) offending fibers in cotton.
We investigated the effect of the methods on a) the impurity content of cotton fiber samples, b) color measurements of dyed fabrics knitted from the same fibers, c) dye-uptake of individual fibers in the dyed fabrics and d) dye-uptake properties of impurities such as seed coat fragments (SCF) in dyed fabrics. The analyzed effect was concluded to be insignificant.
