Abstract
The present work intended to study the spinning performance of mixed "cotton/polyester" waste fibers from existing mills on open-end spinning machine, cotton waste fibers "comber nolls, card strips and penu mafil" were extracted from cotton fiber Giza 75 and polyester card strips were used. The blends and preliminary processing equipment are selected correctly and rotor machine is set correctly. The mixed waste fibers are spun mainly into yarn ranging from 98 tex to 22.7 tex at maximum properties. The results fédiéete that the blend of polyester waste fibres with cotton waste composition resulted in increasing the effective fibre length of the mix, improving the yarn strength and enables the production of the above range of yarn counts.The produced yarn properties were satisfactory for yarn count up to 29 tex, twist multiplier up to xe 5.2 and fibre composition 50/50 up to 100 PEF, good yarn strength, extension, average yarn regularity and yarn quality index up to 12.7 were obtaind.
