This study aims to investigate the frictional and other important yam properties such as unevenness and hairiness of cotton/bamboo blended yams. For this purpose, %100 cotton, %50/%50 cotton/bamboo and %100 bamboo ring spun yams were produced in five different twist coefficients (alpha(e) : 3.5; 3.7; 4.0; 4.2; 4.5) and in four different linear densities ( Ne 16/1 : 20/1; 24/1; 28/1). General factorial design was used for analyzing the data. In conclusion. the highest friction coefficient and the lowest hairiness were obtained for the pure bamboo blends; whereas, the highest unevenness values were observed in pure cotton.
