6 Cotton (India)
" Hinganghat " or " Bant " cotton is probably the finest class of cotton grown in India, having a staple of fully 1-in. in length, and being fine and somewhat silky. This particular variety is rarely exported, being used mostly by Indian spinners for their better class yarns. The Indian cottonsof the Liverpool market are divided into three groups: Surats, Bengal and Madras Surats - Surat is a small port in the Bombay Presidency, from which a large quantity of this cotton was formerly exported. The cottons of the Surat group constitute by far the largest portion of the Indian crop They are: Surtee - This is one of the best of the Surat cottons, and has a staple of 7/8-in. to 1-in. in length Broach is a good white cotton of 7/8 in staple, with a good ginning percentage Dharwar is an acclimatised American cotton of 5/8-in. to 3/4-in staple. It has a nice colour, but is not very strong Dhollera is a cotton similar to Broach, grown in the Ahmedabad district of Bombay, and is much used in the local mills Oomra, or Oomrawuttee comprises a small group of cottons of various qualities, grown in the Central Provinces and Berar Khandeish is an Oomras cotton of a medium length. The Deccan grows a mixed Khandeish cotton of an inferior quality Comptah is a cotton descended from Broach and has a staple of 3/4-in to 3/8-in. Bagalkote is a North Bombay cotton Scinde - The native variety is the poorest of the Surat cottons. It has a very short staple, and is dirty. Recently, however, cotton from Egyptian and American seed has been grown, and shows fairly good results. Bengal - Bengal cottons are short and dirty, and of a quality similar to Scinde. They average about 5/8-in staple, and are only suitable for the coarsest counts Madras - The Madras cottons are: Tinne velly, Westerns, Northerns, and Coconada Tinnevelly is the best and is one of the few Indian cottons which may be suitably mixed with American. It is very white in colour, clean and strong. A fair quantity is imported into England. Westerns is a poorer variety than Tinnevelly, being dull and harsh and not so clean, but it has a fairly long staple. Northerns is a better cotton than Westerns, being softer and silkier, though not so white. Coconada, or Red Coconada, as it is sometimes called, is a highly-coloured cotton, with a moderate staple. Cambodia (or "Tinnevelly American") is a new Madras cotton, which is very similar to Uplands American, with a fine, strong fibre of about 1-in. staple. This cotton has been a great success, and probably has a good future before it. -
7 Cotton (American)
American. There are four important varieties of American cotton: - Orleans - This is the best variety, staple about 11/8-in, white to light cream in colour, strong, regular, elastic. The cottons known as " Benders ' ' Peelers, ' " Allan Seed belong to this variety Texas - A cotton similar to Orleans, but deeper in colour and with a staple about 1-in. It is a strong cotton, and much used for warp yarns Uplands A clean and soft cotton, staple about 1-in. It is not so strong as Orleans or Texas. Generally used for weft Mobile - The poorest of American cottons. Staple about 7/8-in not as clean as the others and weaker in fibre Pima - A special type of American grown cotton known as Pima, which is an American Egyptian variety of about 13/4-in staple. -
8 Cotton Staple
Staple means the length of the fibre, a good staple is a long fibre, and a short staple is a short fibre. The staple may be termed the average length of the bulk of the fibres. The length of staple determines the counts of yarn that can be spun from any particular cotton. The counts and average lengths for twist are: - Up to 16's, 7/8-in. 17's to 26's, 1-in. 27's to 36's, 11/16-in. 37's to 44's, 11/8-in. 45's to 52's, 13/16-in. 53's to 60's, 11/4-in. 61's to 70's, 15/16-in. 71's to 80's, 13/8-in. 81's to 90's, 17/16-in.; 90's to 100's, 11/2-in. If the cotton is for weft yarn then about 30 per cent finer counts can be spun from a given length of staple than is possible for twist yarns. -
9 Cotton (Peru)
Peru produces on an average about 250,000 bales of cotton per annum. There are three varieties grown very different from each other in their general characteristics Peruvian Sea Islands - This is an inferior Sea Islands cotton; and though it has a fairly long staple and a silky appearance it is more irregular, both as to colour and length of staple than the pure Sea Islands grown in the United States It has a length of about 13/8-in Rough Peruvian - This is a harsh wiry cotton, with a staple of about 11/4-in. It is an indigenous variety, and is the product of a perennial plant, which attains a height of about 10 feet. On account of its very harsh fibre this cotton is used chiefly or mixing with wool, with which it has some properties in common Smooth Peruvian - Smooth Peruvian is a soft class of cotton, very similar to American from which cotton it is not improbably descended. It constitutes about 70 per cent of the crop. Staple 11/8-in. -
10 Staple Rayon Fibre
Formerly this only referred to waste resulting from the processing of long filament rayon. Rayon staple fibre is now specially manufactured on a large scale similar to that for the making of long filament rayon up to the process of spinning, after which it is cut into staple lengths suitable for spinning either on cotton, woollen or worsted spinning machinery. Rayon staple fibre is produced in bright and dull qualities, and in various denier sizes. Usual sizes in commercial use in this country are 1.25 denier and 1.5 denier filament thickness and 17/8-in. and 17/16 -in. staple for spinning on cotton machinery or mixing with cotton; 3, 4.5 and 8 denier filaments of 3-in., 4-in., 6-in., and 8-in. staple for blending with wool.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Staple Rayon Fibre

11 Staple
A wool-sorting term denoting whether the wool is of sufficient strength and the fibres sound enough for making warp yarn. A collection of several tufts of wool connected together by a binder (see Tufts (wool) ———————— A term indicating the average spinning length of the fibres in a sample of raw cotton or wool, e.g., cotton may be spoken of as 1-in. staple; (2) staple fabrics is a term used for fabrics that are usually in demand. -

13 Cotton (Egypt)
The Egyptian crop is reckoned in " cantars," a cantar being equal to 98-lb. The Egyptian bale contains about 7 cantars, or 700-lb. Egypt being practically a rainless country, is dependent on the River Nile for its water supply. The river annually overflows its banks, and deposits a rich layer of silt and mud over the cotton growing lands. Within recent years a vast amount of money has been spent on perfecting an irrigation system, by which a continuous supply of water is available all the year round. This has made it possible to extend the country's cotton growing area very largely. Egyptian cotton ranks next to Sea Islands in point of quality, and is used for the world's finer cotton goods. The commercial varieties are Mitafifi, Abassi, Joanovich, Ashmouni, Nubari, Sakellaridis and Assil. Of these, Sakellaridis, a cotton of quite recent growth, is now the most important. Mitafifi (or " Brown Egyptian ") is the average quality of Egyptian cotton, having a staple of about 13/8-in, in length, and is noted for its regularity, both of length and colour. It derives its name from a village in the province of Galulbia, where it was first grown about thirty years ago. It is now cultivated in Lower Egypt and the Nile Delta. There has, in recent years, been a falling off in quality of this cotton, and it is now less extensively grown than formerly. -
14 Cotton (Sea Islands)
Sea Islands is of the famous Gossypium Barbadense variety and is the finest cotton grown, having a staple of 11/2-in. to 21/4-in. in length, fine in diameter, and regular in natural twist and length. It is clean, strong and elastic, and has a silkiness possessed by no other cotton. It was formerly grown in the islands off the coast of South Carolina, in Georgia and Florida, and the crop varied from 60,000 to 100,000 bales. Since the beginning of the present century it has declined in those districts and finally ceased in 1925. Today the British West Indies are almost the sole source of supply - A small quantity being grown in Fiji from seed procured from the West Indies. The crop now averages 4,000 to 5,000 bales per annum and is slowly increasing. The islands producing the cotton now are St. Vincent, Montserrat, St. Kitts, Nevis, Barbados, Anguilla, Antigua and the Virgin Islands.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Cotton (Sea Islands)

15 Cotton (Ashmouni)
Ashmouni (or "Upper Egyptian") is one of the older cottons of Egypt, and is the poorest in quality, being weaker, more irregular and dirtier, than the other varieties. It has a staple of about 11/8-in. and is used mostly for the coarser wefts. Recently, complaints have been made regarding the mixing of this cotton with Mitafifi, which reduces the quality of the Mitafifi and produces a deteriorated seed for sowing purposes. -
16 Cotton (Joanovich)
Joanovich. This is one of the best of Egyptian cottons. It was first grown in 1897 and was produced by artificial selection, from the brown variety Mitafifi. It is fine, strong, clean, silky, and has a staple of about 11/2-in. in length. Spinners have recently shown a preference for the new variety, Sakellaridis, and the growth of Joanovich has been much reduced.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Cotton (Joanovich)

17 Cotton Grade
Refers to its appearance as regards cleanliness, colour and freedom from impurities, such as leaf. Bloom and brightness adds to its grade and bad colour or streakiness detracts. Grade is determined by appearance and by comparison with the " surface " of the standards. Staple, which is separately judged, is not considered in determining grade. -
18 Cut Staple
Cotton cut during ginning and is caused by ginning the cotton when too damp. -
19 Duncan Cotton
A commercial variety of late maturing long staple cotton from Georgia, which gives large bolls, staple 11/8-in. to 13/8-in. Similar to Mammoth Prolific. -
20 Bony Cotton
