A mathematical model has been evolved to estimate the breaking elongation of highly twisted (3 < TM < 6) singles ring spun cotton yams from fiber characteristics. Results show that the accuracy of estimation of the proposed model is very high. The model is applicable to both carded and combed cottons.
