Combing operation necessarily eliminates a certain predetermined percentage of short fibers, which when spun produces a softer and smoother yarn. It also permits to spin to a fine count of yarn.
We sometimes segregate cotton yarns depending upon the percentage of short fibers removed during combing.
In Semi Combed Cotton the short fiber removal percentage is kept at 5-10%.
In Normally Combed cotton the short fiber removal percentage is kept between 10-20%.
In Super Combed cottons the short fiber removal percentage is over 20%.
A very nice introduction to combing for Textile Technologists can be found in this article.
