%X The carding process has a major influence on the sliver quality and the resulting yarn characteristics because it is the first sliver forming process step. The effect of opening, carding, drawing and combing on single fiber and bundle cotton properties were studied by employing AFIS and HVI testers. The basic purpose of this study was to determine the carding delivery speed for extra-fine compact yarns by using Egyptian cotton variety Giza 87 as super extra-fine, extra-long fiber quality. Giza 87 Egyptian combed cotton was used to produce extra-fine counts, i.e. Ne 135 and Ne 180 compact yarns, spun on Zinser 351 C3 compact spinning machine.
