Cotton yarn (40 Ne) was sized at squeeze pressures of 22 and 33.8 daN/cm2 (cor responding to 5 and 25 daN/cm) on a laboratory sizing machine. The weaving per formance of yam sized at the high pressure was better than the yarn sized at the low pressure. This improvement is attributed to increased size penetration, greater packing density, and more uniform cross sections of the sized yam.
