This paper represents the first part of two papers in which I review some of the recent developments in staple fiber technologywith emphasis on cotton and cotton/man-made blend systems. In this part, the focus is on spinning preparation machinery.A great deal of the review will be based on machinery exhibited at ITMA 2003, in Birmingham, U.K. In addition, otherdevelopments that were not exhibited at ITMA will also be discussed.
