To promote Australian Long Staple Cotton (ALS) large-scale spinning trials were carried out in China in late 2010 using Sicala 340BRF. Six major mills in China participated in the trials. Three yarn counts were spun: Ne 40, Ne 50 and Ne 60. The spinning performance of Sicala 340BRF was better than anticipated. The results show that ALS can be used for production of high quality fine count yarns Ne 50 and above. Partner mills have shown strong interest in continued supply of ALS.
