Carded cotton—from open-end lint to precision-blended yarn—is a pillar of high-utility textiles. The carded cotton process uniquely balances performance and affordability, making it an industry favorite for diverse sectors such as petrochemical, metallurgy, water treatment, apparel, and home textiles. This analysis focuses on carded cotton with a special focus on the acclaimed product: Tc65/35 110x76 White Fabric 44 Inches Carded Cotton Quality.
1. Industry Overview: The Evolution and Relevance of Carded Cotton
Global production of carded cotton yarns topped 20 million metric tons in the last year (Statista, 2023). The transition from conventional hand carding to advanced open-end and compact spinning has dramatically improved efficiency, uniformity, and application scalability.
Carded open end cotton yarn—high efficiency, cost-effective, for denim and towels
Combed carded yarn—improved fineness and strength (t-shirts, underwear)
Cotton carded soft—softer handfeel, ideal for babywear/linens
Carded cotton vs combed cotton—cost-performance trade off (see table below)
Key Europe/Asia manufacturers are responding with rapid innovations in carded yarn and combed yarn segments for both industrial and technical textiles

3. Manufacturing Process Diagram: How Carded Cotton Yarn Is Made
Blowroom: Opening, cleaning & blending fibers for optimal consistency
Carding: Separation of impurities, short fibers & parallelization; forms sliver
Drawing: Combines multiple slivers for better fiber alignment & evenness
Spinning (Open-end / Ring): Twisting & winding into yarn (ISO 2060:2018 standard for count uniformity)
Each stage is closely monitored by ISO 9001-certified lines and advanced Uster testing for evenness, strength, and contamination (Uster Technologies Report, 2021).
Tc65/35 110x76 White Fabric combines the durability of polyester (65%) and the comfort of carded cotton (35%) in a state-of-the-art 44-inch wide construction. Manufactured using proven carded yarn processes and CNC machine-guided weaving, it assures both strength and comfort across numerous industries.
Material: Poly-cotton blend (ISO 1833-1:2010, blend ratio verification)
12. FAQs – Technical Terminology & Industrial Practice
What is carded open end cotton? Carded open end cotton utilizes the open-end spinning method, bypassing the roving step for high-speed, bulk production. It's cost-efficient and used widely in items where strength is less critical than productivity, e.g., towels or jeans.
What does combed carded mean?
Fibers are first carded (removing big impurities), then combed (eliminating shortest fibers and further aligning), resulting in smoother, finer, more uniform yarn.
What is the difference between cotton carded soft and regular carded yarn?
"Cotton carded soft" refers to yarn produced with processes or finishing treatments that enhance handfeel and drape, making it ideal for next-to-skin applications.
How do carded and combed yarn compare in technical performance? Combed yarn yields higher tensile strength (25–35 cN/tex), enhanced evenness (CV%
What are the common installation/usage standards for cotton carded or combed textiles?
Strictly follow ISO standards for sewing (ISO 4915 stitch types), storage/humidity control, and periodic wash testing (EN ISO 6330).
How is yarn count (e.g., 30s carded cotton yarn price) determined and why does it matter?
"30s" means 840 yards of yarn weighs 1/30th of a pound (English cotton system), impacting fineness, weight, and price (market value currently ~$3.10-3.15/kg for 30s).
What are the principal yarn test standards I should look for in procurement?
ISO 2060 for count, ISO 13934-1 for tensile, ISO 105-C06 for color fastness, and Uster statistics for CV% type measures.
13. Typical Application: Service Case Study
In 2023, a Southeast Asian medical textile enterprise adopted carded cotton-blend Tc65/35 fabric for patient bed linen supply. After 180 industrial washes (EN ISO 15797 protocol), fabric retained >91% tensile strength, negligible pilling, and maintained Class-1 hypoallergenic rating (lab report available). Client cited "cost savings of 26% versus all-combed cotton solution" and rapid ROI due to lower replacement frequency.
