The physical properties of natural and regenerated cellulosic fibers were compared in terms of yarn twist, linear density, yarn strength, yarn elongation, yarn evenness and yam hairiness. For this purpose, linen, viscose, tencel, modal and bamboo yarns with 30s Ne were selected and tested for yarn properties. The results showed that modal yarn had good strength and RKM value compared to other regenerated cellulosic yarns. Tencel yarns showed least hairiness due to more number of twists given in order to hold the fibres together during the spinning process. Linen yarns exhibited maximum number of thin and thick places, yarn imperfections and neps due to its coarser nature.
