Tamil Nadu, India · 3-Generation Family Enterprise
Cotton Yarn,
Crafted with Three Generations
of Knowledge.
AKR Spinning Mills is a family-run manufacturer supplying 100% cotton, polyester cotton, and blended yarns for knitters and weavers.
A Family Enterprise
From Cotton Fields
to Spinning Frames.
What began as raw cotton trading and ginning founded by N. Srinivasan — expanded into modern ring spinning by MD Asok Kumar, and now advanced by JMD Keerthan Asok Kumar — has grown across three generations into a trusted spinning operation. Today, AKR Spinning Mills produces pure 100% cotton, polyester cotton, and blended yarns for buyers across India and global markets.
We are not a distant conglomerate. We are a family that understands cotton fibre from bale to cone, cares about the yarn we produce, and takes pride in long-standing buyer partnerships.

Our Flagship Product
100% Karded Cotton Yarn
Produced through our full ring-spinning line — from opening and carding through to winding and testing. Suited for knitting, jersey, shirting, and terry applications.
Why Karded Yarn?
Karded yarn is produced without the combing step — retaining a mix of short and long fibres. This gives the yarn a natural, slightly softer handle and makes it cost-effective for a wide range of everyday textile applications.
- Natural texture well-suited for knitted garments, jerseys, and shirts
- Cost-effective without compromising on strength and evenness
- Available in single and plied constructions (on enquiry)
- Count range managed to your specification — enquire for availability
- Quality benchmarked to Uster standards
How We Make It
The Spinning Process
Opening & Cleaning
Raw cotton is opened and cleaned to remove impurities and short fibres.
Carding
Fibres are aligned into a continuous sliver; short fibres and neps are removed.
Drawing
Multiple card slivers are combined and drawn to improve evenness.
Roving
The drawn sliver is attenuated further and given a slight twist to prepare for spinning.
Spinning
Roving is drafted and twisted into yarn on ring spinning frames.
Winding
Yarn is wound onto cones and inspected for defects during transfer.
Testing
Finished yarn is tested for count, strength, evenness, hairiness, and imperfections.
