Abstract
Jute fiber properties commonly determined are strength and fineness. The relationship of these fiber properties with the various yarn-strength parameters are discussed. Though fiber bundle strength is closely associated with yarn tenacity, it does not explain satisfactorily the variation in yarn quality. Fineness measured by the air-flow method does not show significant correlation with yarn tenacity.
