 A Milestone Moment: Sharing 25 Years of Textile Insights in Print

​I am thrilled to share some exciting news with you all! My latest article, "The Blowroom Audit: Are You Throwing Your Profits Into The Dust Collector?", has been published in the January 2026 issue of Textile Insights magazine.

​A Heartfelt Thank You

​First and foremost, I want to extend my sincere gratitude to  Mr. Arvind Semlani & Mr. Henry R. Dsouza*

Associate Editor

Textile Insights editor of Textile Insights.

 Thank you for providing a platform where industry experience can be shared to help the next generation of textile professionals.

​I also want to thank you—my followers and colleagues. Your constant encouragement and technical discussions motivated me to take my 25 years of shop-floor experience and put it onto paper. It is your curiosity that drives me to find new ways to express what I’ve learned.

​Why This Article Matters

​In my 25 years walking the shop floors of spinning mills, I’ve realized that profit is often won or lost before the yarn even exists. In this article, I discuss:

  • The "100g Physical Test": Why we must trust our hands more than digital screens.
  • The Trap of High RPM: How over-beating cotton can spike your Short Fibre Content (SFC).
  • Listening to the Air: How the sound of the machinery can tell you everything you need to know about efficiency.

​My goal is to help technicians stop discarding "spinnable fibre" and start seeing the waste chamber as a key to profitability.

​Looking Ahead

​Seeing my work in print is a proud moment, but the real reward is knowing this might help a junior technician or a production manager improve their yarn realization today.

​Thank you for being part of this journey with me. Let's keep innovating and improving our craft!
