Three cotton blends of average micronaire reading but composed of various percentages of high, low, and average micronaire reading cottons were carded into three sliver weights at each of three levels of card production rates. The effect of blend, sliver weight, card production rate, and Hat speed on card loading, card waste, sliver uniformity, fiber orientation, and processing performance were observed.
