In this paper, 14 types of kapok blended yarns and four types of cotton yarns manufactured through different spinning technologies and processing methods were selected in order to explore the most efficient spinning technology for kapok fiber. Four yarn characteristics were measured: yarn fineness/unevenness, yarn defects, yarn hairiness, and breaking tenacity. According to Uster Statistics 2007, GB-T/398-2008, and FZ12001-1992 standards, the analytical results of the four characteristics showed that the quality of kapok blended yarns achieved a higher level with the improvement of spinning technology. The compact spinning and processing technology IV was a preferred way to spin high-quality kapok blended yarn, which lent support to widening the application of kapok fibers in various end-use products.
