How about Indian cotton for clothes?

India is a major cotton producing country. The quality characteristics of Indian cotton are: white, milky white, average or good gloss and good internal quality. At present, the processing method of Indian cotton is mostly leather roller processing, so the fiber is smooth, unlike serrated cotton, which is fluffy and uniform, strip-shaped and uneven in thickness. The yellow root is obviously due to the centralized processing of leather rollers, especially for grade 4 cotton. The seed is sterile, the seed epidermis is soft, and there are many impurities such as leaves. In recent years, the Indian Ministry of Agriculture has attached great importance to the cultivation of cotton varieties, and kept H-4, S-6 and other varieties with excellent internal quality. Other varieties are being improved, planting excellent cotton varieties from the United States, the internal quality has been greatly improved, and the labor cost is low, so Indian cotton has strong competitiveness in both quality and price in the international market. As India is a signatory to the General Cotton Standard Agreement of the United States, Indian cotton mainly trades with American cotton grades, and individual cotton samples are used for foreign trade.

At present, a considerable number of imported Indian cotton are H -4 and S-6 varieties, and the test results are -2 ~ 3, the length is mostly 29mm, the micronaire value is 3.6-4.5 (high in some cases), the color is yellowish, the cotton fiber strength is above 28cN/tex, and the short fiber rate is 12%-65. Because the fiber length damage of leather roller cotton processing is small, there are few neps. And the poor rolling, yellow spots, broken seeds with fiber.

Indian leather roller cotton can be used for fine yarns such as 13tex and 14. 6tex, medium and coarse tex yarn can use imported low-grade cotton. India is also an underdeveloped country. Cotton is harvested by hand, so there are many foreign fibers. However, due to different processing methods, foreign fibers are not excessively dispersed, and there are many original States. It is relatively easy for spinning mills to pick foreign fibers, and the quality of home textile fabrics is also good.
