Industrialización del algodón nativo peruano de color
The objective of this study is to evaluate the technical feasibility to obtain high quality yarns from Peruvian native cotton. This cotton grows in the north coast of Peru and is characterized by being naturally pig-mented with colors such as cream, green, brown, purple, white and beige without being dyed. However, this cotton has some features such as short fiber and low torsional resistance which makes it impossible to spin it with conventional machinery; therefore, a machine specially adapted for the spinning process was used.
The present paPer studies the transformations that have taken place in the field of intensive agriculture in the province of Almeria. The various factors that have originated the above mentioned transformations, as well as the processes, their innovative characteristics and the extent of their use are presented and discussed.
