dc.description.abstractThe growing demand for sustainable textile production highlights the importance for effective recycling of pre-consumer textile waste, particularly wool and wool blends. Production highlights the importance of recycling pre-consumer textile waste to minimize the environmental impact. While many studies focus on fiber recycling, few investigate the root cause of the fiber shortening during the cutting and shredding process. This study investigates how cutting fabric impacts fiber retention in recycled yarn production, focusing on three common knit patterns—Rib 1x1, Double Jersey, and Interlock. Using a 70% wool and 30% silk blend, the study identifies optimal cutting dimensions to minimize fiber loss during recycling. Experimental analyses of fabric samples (1–10 cm lengths) revealed that cuts of approximately 7 cm effectively preserved fiber lengths across all patterns, with confidence intervals demonstrating consistent retention. Image processing techniques further categorized leftover materials, enabling their allocation to specific spinning processes (short-staple, medium-staple, and long-staple). The findings contribute to optimizing recycling processes, improving fiber retention, advancing circular economy practices in textile production, and hold potential for practical implementation in automated recycling systems and enhanced yarn production workflows.cs
