Abstract Abstract This paper presents a new multi-criteria decision-making approach to determine the quality value of cotton fibre. Major cotton fibre properties were considered and their relative importance or weights were determined by a typical pair-wise comparison method. Cotton fibres were ranked according to their relative closeness with respect to the best and worst possible alternatives. This ranking was compared with the ranking of yarn tenacity in two different yarn counts. It was found that there is significant agreement between the two rankings.
