The aim of this research is to predict the yarn specific stress from fiber specific stress and fiber stress utilisation. In this paper a new approach is introduced to predict the specific stress-strain curves of cotton carded and combed yarns. The force on single fiberis worked out and these fiber forces are combined together to obtain forces acting on yarn. The theoretical model introduces the utilisation of fiber stress on the basis of the fiber specific stress-strain curve, twist angle, fiber directional distribution parameter C and contraction ratio. A comparison of experimental results suggests that the specific stress-strain curves predicted have reasonable agreement with the experimental yarn specific stress-strain curves for all types of yarns. Thus this model is valid to predict the specific stress-strain curves for carded and combed cotton ring spun yarns.
