We present a new approach to yarn characterization and yarn tensile response based on fiber parameters such as strength and strain-at-break, length, and fineness. Yarn characterization is concerned with twist, linear density, and the ratio of experimental yarn unevenness to the Martindale's limit characteristic for spinning mills. Experimental strength results are compared with predicted ones on the basis of theory.
