Cotton-spinning machinery is machines which process (or spin) prepared cotton roving into workable yarn or thread. [1] Such machinery can be dated back centuries. During the 18th and 19th centuries, as part of the Industrial Revolution cotton-spinning machinery was developed to bring mass production to the cotton industry.
The planting season is from September to mid-November, and the crop is harvested between March and June. The cotton bolls are harvested by stripper harvesters and spindle pickers that remove the entire boll from the plant. The cotton boll is the seed pod of the cotton plant; attached to each of the thousands of seeds are fibres about 2.5 cm ...
For an example short fiber content (SFC) by number and by weight influences the productivity and quality of the yarn. Cotton lint with more than 25%SFC(n) is a problem in spinning. [2] [19] [20] Short fibers also known as "noil" extraction improves the yarn quality, consequently affects yarn realisation.
Hence, it is called a wet process which usually covers pre-treatment, dyeing, printing, and finishing. [2] The wet process is usually done in the manufactured assembly of interlacing fibers, filaments and yarns, having a substantial surface (planar) area in relation to its thickness, and adequate mechanical strength giving it a cohesive structure.
Spinning mills in Ancoats, Manchester, England – representation of a mill-dominated townscape. A cotton mill is a building that houses spinning or weaving machinery for the production of yarn or cloth from cotton, [1] an important product during the Industrial Revolution in the development of the factory system.

Spinning is a twisting technique to form yarn from fibers.The fiber intended is drawn out, twisted, and wound onto a bobbin.A few popular fibers that are spun into yarn other than cotton, which is the most popular, are viscose (the most common form of rayon), animal fibers such as wool, and synthetic polyester.
