Abstract
The mercerizing characteristics of yarn made from lots of Pima S-1. Peruvian Pima. and Egyptian Karnak cottons have been compared. The yarns were mercerized in several different ways to compare them under these different conditions; very little difference was found among the cottons. These tests were part of an extensive study of methods for evaluating the mercerizing characterstics of cottons of different varieties or Krowths. which is of interest to both breeder and user of cottons. The comparisons made here are reported because of particular immediate interest by users of these cottons.
