Spinnability of Recycled and Hemp Fibers

This project evaluates the spinnability of recycled textile fibers and hemp fibers for sustainable yarn production. It focuses on how fiber properties, such as length distribution, fineness, stiffness, and surface characteristics, affect cohesion and spinning processability. Through fiber characterization and small-scale spinning trials, we will assess spinning performance, identify processing challenges, and measure yarn quality (e.g., strength, unevenness, and hairiness). The goal is to determine key limitations and propose strategies that enable efficient spinning and broader industrial use of recycled and hemp fibers.
